Saskatchewan’s Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority wants to get some feedback from Saskatchewan businesses, as well as consumers, as they get ready to amend laws concerning door-to-door sellers.

The Direct Sellers Act regulates individuals who solicit the purchase of goods and/or services door-to-door or by telephone.  Some of the items up for discussion include criminal record checks; enhanced disclosure for certain transactions; ID cards; changes to when contracts need to be in writing; contract duration limits; cancellation of contracts; and extended cancellation rights.

Once you have reviewed the consultation paper you can respond to discussion questions, by December 20, at DSConsultations@gov.sk.ca or by mail:
