Consumers

Alberta Government Services works to ensure a fair marketplace for both buyers and sellers by investigating consumer complaints, enforcing consumer protection legislation, licensing and bonding regulated businesses, informing consumers of their rights and responsibilities and providing an appropriate regulatory framework for consumers and business.

The ministry's Consumer Information Centre (1-877-427-4088) handles more than 100,000 phone inquiries from Albertans each year. The Centre provides information on dozens of topics including landlord/tenant disputes, making purchases over the Internet and lodging a consumer complaint.
