Consumer Services - Vote 1816

Consumer Services aims to promote a fair, safe, and informed marketplace for consumers and businesses. It is dedicated to consumer protection and safety. We develop policies, programs, and services that respond to the needs of Ontario consumers and businesses at home, online, and in our communities. In partnership with the ministry's administrative authorities and through its oversight of their activities, Consumer Services helps consumers get information about their rights so they can make informed decisions. The division undertakes risk-based compliance and initiates enforcement action in response to contraventions, and supports businesses in a competitive business environment. It also ensures that human remains found outside of cemeteries, including those of Indigenous persons, are treated with respect and dignity. As a modern regulator, Consumer Services is committed to consumer education and protection, implementing policy on a wide range of consumer, vital events and public safety issues, and supporting business law renewal in Ontario.
