Description:
In January 2004, Federal, Provincial and Territorial Ministers Responsible for Consumer Affairs recognized the serious concern that identity theft poses for consumers, leaving victims with a poor credit rating, ruined reputation and money losses. The ministers agreed, as a first step, to harmonize information efforts to bring consumers the most reliable and complete information on how to reduce the risk of becoming a victim. A multi-jurisdictional CMC working group has been struck to examine this and other consumer issues relating to identity theft.
