Also an adult over 25 may work for OF Y if the project officer determines that person is vital to the program and has to be paid to be employed. Faubert stressed that the reason for trying to exclude persons over 25 is because in the past where persons over 25 have worked on a project, "the leadership is ~ always taken over by older persons and that's not what the program is about." All OFY projects must Satisfy six criteria. These are as follows: 1. The administration must be done by the students 2. The project must be beneficial to the community or to the workers them selves.

The cost of the project is important. "This year there will be less money available (nationally) than last year', Faubert said.

Unfortunately, people don't always know these rules or follow them, and that allows unscrupulous sellers to take advantage of people. Common sense is your best defence. But you have another defender, too. Two pieces of legislation have been passed by your On- tario Government in order to help you. The Consumer Protection Act is designed to protect you from problems that may arise when you buy goods or services, or borrow money. It is administered by the Consumer Protection Bureau, which also handles complaints and inquiries about question- able business practices, and it controls: es, Buying and borrowing can sometimes cause problems. This is what Ontario is doing registration of itinerant sellers (i.e., door- to-door salesmen) contracts over $50 where delivery of goods, services or payment has not been completed e full disclosure of credit terms special discounts for getting friends to buy (referral selling) unsolicited goods (including unsolicited credit cards) e false or misleading advertising © penalties for offences The Consumer Reporting Act is another law designed to protect you. It gives you the right to know what credit and personal in- formation about you is on file with com- panies, and an opportunity to have inaccu- racies corrected, and prohibits consumer reporting agencies from using information unless it is stored in Canada. According to this Act, you are entitled to request in writ- ing that the contents of your file and the sources of information be disclosed to you. Your Ontario Government has also pre- pared two easy-to-understand booklets that describe the Consumer Protection Act and the Consumer Reporting Act. The book- lets explain these two important Ontario laws more fully.
