What are the National DNCL Rules?
The National DNCL Rules are a subset of the CRTC’s Unsolicited Telecommunications Rules. The Rules require, amongst other things, that telemarketers and clients of telemarketers subscribe to, pay fees for, and download the National DNCL. The Rules prohibit telemarketers and clients of telemarketers from calling telephone numbers that have been registered on the National DNCL for more than 31 days. A complete record of the Rules is contained in the appendix to CRTC Telecom Decision 2008-6. An abbreviated list of the Rules is also available at the National DNCL and Telemarketing Rules section of the Telemarketer main page on the National DNCL Web site.
