2022 Federal Pre-Budget Consultations - Comments fromOption consommateurs

Option consommateurs is concerned about the impact of the health crisis on consumers' financial health. To help them cope with the major increase in housing and food-related expenses, we are proposing a series of measures designed to:

• better supervision of banking activities;
• improve direct assistance to consumers;
• improve access to housing.

In addition, we are taking advantage of these pre-budget consultations to propose various measures to strengthen consumer protection in the areas of privacy and telecommunications.

Finally, we are also proposing additional measures to better support non-profit organizations in their consumer protection mission.
