Anti-spam laws in western countries : a comparison / Alysia Davies.: YM32-2/2010-01E-PDF
"Canada is the only G8 country that does not currently have specific anti-spam legislation. During the most recent session of the Parliament of Canada, a government bill to implement anti-spam legislation (Bill C-27, the Electronic Commerce Protection Act) reached the Standing Senate Committee on Transport and Communications before Parliament was prorogued on 30 December 2009 and it died on the Order Paper. Other countries have adopted models for their anti-spam legislation that share some similarities with Canada’s proposed model, although there are certain differences in the areas of consent, exceptions and penalties. This paper will briefly outline some of the major features of anti-spam legislation in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the European Union, and the United Kingdom"--p.1.
