The Canadian Direct Marketing Association represents its companies directly and we are making efforts in that regard.

Somebody may be dissatisfied with their telemarketing, about their style, about their approach, their ethics, but that's something the Direct Marketing Association of Canada can handle quite easily.

It appears that the House of Commons committee studying this bill only called the Direct Marketing Association as a witness, which is the association that I belonged to before I became a senator.

Nonetheless, the U.S. Direct Marketing Association estimates that about 90% of the telemarketing activity has been stopped to the more than 50 million numbers on its registry. I am very much in favour of a do not call registry.
