Safeguards
for buyers
By DOUGLAS COLLINS
VANCOUVER- Attorney-General
Robert Bonner has announced that the
provincial Consumer Protection Act
will become law on Jan. 1, at. which
time grantors of credit must disclose
true rates of interest in all loan and
business transactions with the exception
of morgages and agreements for sale on
real property. Also, customers who buy.
goods worth more than $50 from door-
to-door salesmen have the right to can-
cel their contracts within three days.
Violations of the law will bring fines
of up to $25,000 for corporations, and for
individuals, fines of up to $2,000 and two
years imprisonment.
The law looks tough, and Mr. Bonner
has stated with some satisfaction that
British Columbia joins Alberta, Nova
Scotia and Ontario in protecting consum-
ers. But he also said that, unlike those
provinces, he will not set up any "bu-
reaucratic apparatus' to police the new
regulations, and that he does not intend
to ho atwveryone's elbow" when pri-
vate cotirects are signed. Joseph Smallwood has led-his Liberal Party to six provincial election victories and has been Premier of Newfoundland since, the province ent
