CACN Applauds New Consumer Product Safety Bill

The Canadian Anti-Counterfeiting Network (CACN) applauds the Government of Canada on the re-introduction of Bill C-36, the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act.

“While we look forward to examining the Bill in more detail, we commend the government for its efforts to protect Canadians from the harms posed by unsafe counterfeit products,” commented Brian Isaac, Chair of CACN. “Canadian consumers deserve protection from those who seek to make a fast buck from the sale of dangerous counterfeit and black market products, with no regard for public safety.”

The Canadian Anti-Counterfeiting Network is a coalition of individuals, companies, firms and associations that have united in the fight against product counterfeiting and copyright piracy in Canada and internationally. The originating members of CACN include broad-based organizations, such as the I.E.Canada, Canadian Association of Importers and Exporters, the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), Electro-Federation Canada, the Canadian Entertainment Software Association and the Canadian Motion Picture Distributors Association; companies from a range of industries; and law firms representing a host of intellectual property (IP) rights holders – Canadian and foreign – with significant businesses in Canada.
