Seeking Input on Door-to-Door Sellers

The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority (FCAA) is seeking feedback from Saskatchewan businesses and consumers regarding proposed amendments to the laws concerning door-to-door sellers.

Read the Consultation Paper: Direct Sellers Act and Regulations. 

The Direct Sellers Act regulates individuals who solicit the purchase of goods and/or services door-to-door or by telephone.

Key issues for discussion include:

• Enhanced disclosure for certain transactions;
• Criminal Record checks;
• Automatic licence cancellations and suspensions in certain circumstances;
• Minimum financial security amounts;
• Identification cards;
• Changes to when contracts need to be in writing;
• Contract duration limits;
• Cancellation of contracts; and
• Extended cancellation rights.

Responses to the discussion questions must be submitted by December 20, 2021, by email at DSConsultations@gov.sk.ca or by mail:
