The National Do Not Call List (DNCL) is a list administered by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) that enables Canadian residents to decide whether or not to receive telemarketing calls.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2008-10-02 )〕 It was first announced by the Government of Canada on December 13, 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2008-10-02 )〕 The DNCL has been labelled a "disaster" 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Tough action can reverse do-not-call disaster )〕 by Michael Geist and a "success" 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Do Not Call Poll )〕 by polling conducted by a telemarketer (All polling firms are telemarketers, by the definition of the Telecommunications Act, having specifically been listed as telemarketers which have been granted an exemption from the DNCL)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Telecommunications Act (1993, c. 38) )〕 The DNCL continues to receive heavy criticism, the latest being from Senator Percy Downe who referred to it as "totally useless", due to the costly but totally ineffective enforcement, the large number of exempt groups and the ability for anyone from anywhere in the world to purchase sets of phone numbers for relatively low fees, and then abuse the Do Not Call List as a calling list.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Global News uncovers serious loophole in 'Do Not Call' List )〕 Senator Downe cited multiple examples of constituents, whom he had personally added to the list, receiving a sudden increase in telemarketing calls three months later. On April 20, 2009, the CRTC announced that telephone and fax numbers on the list would be listed on the DNCL for five years, extended from the three years at the list's inception.〔 〕 ==Overview== Legislation entitled ''Bill C-37, An Act to amend the Telecommunications Act'' (), introduced in the House of Commons, was given first reading on December 13, 2004.〔 It addressed telemarketing calls in Canada and would allow people to sign up to prevent certain telemarketers from contacting them. It received royal assent on November 25, 2005 and came into force on 30 June 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2009-02-17 )〕 The legislation gives the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) authority to establish a national do not call list, to establish procedures to administer the Act and to levy penalties for violations. Starting September 30, 2008, residents of Canada were able to register their telephone numbers on the list online, or by telephone, fax or teletype.() 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Do Not Call List」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
