Summary of Proposal:
The Ministry of Government and Consumer Services (MGCS) is seeking feedback on proposed regulatory changes under the Consumer Protection Act, 2002 (CPA) and the Repair and Storage Liens Act (RSLA).

˗ Amend the RSLA to address storage notification and related issues.
To assist in the development of proposed regulations, the towing and storage consultation panel provided recommendations to government. The ministry received additional feedback on the panel's recommendations during regional consultation sessions (held in Mississauga, London, Pickering, Ottawa and Sudbury) and through the regulatory registry posting of the Towing and Vehicle Storage Consultations Findings and Recommendations Report which occurred from July 14 - August 12, 2015.
