A first in Canada, this single site offers a gateway to consumer information and contacts you need in no time, every time. Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the Gateway is a centralized source of comprehensive consumer information compiled by more than 25 federal government departments and agencies. More content will be added as new information becomes available and new partners come onboard. Whether you are shopping for infant car seats, investigating energy conservation measures for the home, gathering data about a defective product or want to know more about national parks or national historic sites, you can find all the information you need through the Gateway. Comprehensive consumer research has been carefully organized by familiar topics including health, housing, food, money or travel and tourism.
Information is accessible in both English and French.
You can navigate the site by topic or with the help of a powerful search engine. Related Weblinks, electronic mail addresses and regional phone numbers are provided throughout. All partners contributing to the site update their content regularly to ensure data is current as well as accurate. Canadians without Internet access at home or at work can log on to the Canadian Consumer Information Gateway at public libraries, community access points, or public access kiosks located in federal government service outlets.
