Trying to obtain a mortgage on your home? Worrying about the safety of the boiler in your apartment building? Believe it or not, all these things have something in com- mon. They are part of the wide-ranging responsibilities of the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations. The Ministry, which was established in 1966, functions to . protect you, the consumer, by regulating and sUperYksing .many business transactions in the province; Public Contact This Ministry probably has more direct contact with the Consumer than any other. This contact is achieved in a number of ways: • The Registrar-General deals directly with you when you want a copy of your birth certificate. • The Consumer Protection Bureau will listen to you if you have a complaint or question about a particular business or door-to-door salesman. • The Technical Standards Division sees to your safety by regulating and inspecting elevators, commercial boilers and gas distribution systems in both apart- ments and businesses. • Certain sections such as the Ontario Securities Commission and the Companies ,Branch,, help you by administering Acts that promote an honest and open financial environment for both business and consumers. Consumer Protection Bureau Some of the ways the Consumer Protection Bureau pro- tects you are: • Insisting on the registration of door-to-door sellers selling anything from baby pictures to asphalt drive- ways. • Insisting on the full disclosure of all credit costs. • Outlawing referral selling, where the salesman tells you he will give you a discount on goods if you get others to buy. Buying or Selling Real Estate? The purchase of a home and property is likely the largest expenditure you will ever make. For your protection, real estate and business brokers and salesmen must be regis- tered before doing business, pass examinations and be bonded. As for your retirement haven, the Ministry also regulates the promotion and sale of foreign property to Ontario residents, making sure an accurate description of the property and terms of sale is provided'to the buyer. Insurance The Office of the Superintendent of Insurance and Regis- trar of Loan and Trust Companies is responsible for the general supervision of all insurance, loan and trust agents, brokers and adjusters operating in Ontario. The branch protects you by determining the financial stability of these companies through auditing inspectors.
