The point of these sections is to be somewhat of a backdrop or safety net to the current “do not call” list, which is hosted by a private company. These cannot simply come into force overnight. As Philip mentioned, they will require some consultation, but we feel it wise to include them here to be a safety net to the “do not call list” that is hosted by a private company, and for technology convergence.
We can't completely foresee the future, but if at some point in the not so distant future convergence renders the “do not call” list non-functional, this would be a safety mechanism we could use to protect the Canadian public from abuse, or a loophole or gap between the Telecommunications Act and this act, where there are definite linkages and similarities.
