A better deal for consumers and businesses
Bill 31, A Better Deal for Consumers and Businesses Act, was passed in the Legislative Assembly. The majority of the changes will be in effect once the Bill receives Royal Assent. New protections in the areas of ticket sales, high-cost credit, veterinary service, car sales and repairs, and changes to AMVIC will come into effect as related regulations are developed throughout 2018.
