Advocating for changes to BC’s consumer protection laws
The BC Government has delegated the responsibility to us for administering the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act, the Motion Picture Act, the Cremation, Interment and Funeral Services Act and the Ticket Sales Act and the regulations associated with each of those statutes. We cannot change legislation or advocate for its change on behalf of anyone. If you have concerns about the legislation or want to advocate for change to legislation, you may wish to consider contacting either the constituency office of your local Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) or the ministry responsible for consumer protection legislation in British Columbia.
