Place For Complaints In most households there is little book in which important addresses and phone numbers are listed Those who from time to time feel they would like to have someone to complain to about consumer matters should add one more address to their list It islhe Consum er Box 98 Ottawa This is where you can write to tell the government all about it when you think that as con sumer you are being taken it has often been contended with con siderable justification that the consum ers are the forgotten people in the give andtake of economic life in Canada In the establishment of the federal depart ment of consumer affairs there is belat ed recognition that consumers have their rights The current efforts in Otta wa are aimed at developing meaningful lines of communication between consum ers and their government Consumer Minister Ron Basford has announced the publication of news bulletin by his department It has been instituted to provide this necessary com municatlon from the governments side The new Consumer Communique is to be issued on periodic basis It will cov er wide range of subjects including consumer legislation trade practices and advice on actual shopping methods The first issue of Consumer Commu nique contains an analysis of com plaints received by the departmenfand report on the public response to the mailing address The response shows how widevls the range of consumer concern In the three and halfniopths the addreSS has been available more than one thousand con sumers have aired their problems Judging by themail tbemajor areas of concern include trade practices such one third of the national bity as misleading advertising and labelling referral selling bailoutswitch tactics guarantees and warranties creditr re pairs and servicing Complaints on these matters made up per cent of the total mail Prices followed with 19 per cent quality 14 percentquantitytwo per cent and one per cent for miscellaneous topics The analysis reveals that Ontario con sumers registered more than half the complaints British Columbia accounted for 15 per cent while Quebec with about population sub mitted only 12 per cent of the beefs Other provinces were represented to lesser degree The department was able to report in its first communique that many of the complaints had been dealt with through the Consumer Service to bring satisf tion to the complainant Some are ers fell within provincial jurlsdiction and were referred to the proper authorities Manvaere found to involve incidents in which consumers entered into agree ments without fully understanding their obligations or that of the other party to the contract Caveat emptor The new government department is undertaking job likely to mushroom into huge proportions Its work can be effective in giving the usually voiceless consumer chance to make himself heard Where it will do some good The more the public brings to the depart ment instances where the consumer has been bilked the more pressure there will be on those who are doing it to get back on the path of merchandising pro 80 better write the address down and he prepared to use it The Consumer Boat 99 Ottawa DOWN
