ANTI-SPAM LEGISLATION
Messages from the Senate: Senate messages may be exempt from the application of Canada’s anti-spam law which applies to commercial electronic messages sent to electronic addresses. This is because: the electronic messages that the Senate sends are generally either those soliciting donations, which are specifically exempt under the law, or are messages of a political, not a commercial, character.
Messages from Pamela Wallin: If we do send any messages to which the law applies and for which there are no exemptions, we will ensure that we have consent to do so, as required by the law, and that any other legal requirements e.g. an unsubscribe mechanism, are met.
