On January 4, 2013, the Government of Canada published revised draft regulations related to its anti-spam legislation passed in 2010 (Bill C-28). The legislation, which governs electronic communications for commercial purposes, has been controversial due to the wide net it casts over business-related electronic communications. Concerns by stakeholders, particularly the business community, about the proposed regulation of Commercial Electronic Messages have resulted in the government delaying proclamation of the legislation and, consequently, its coming into law.
