WASHINGTON, D.C. The Canadian government has introduced legislation similar to the American “Do Not Call” telemarketing rules.

The measure is expected to gain approval in Canada’s Parliament.

In the U.S., the Federal Trade Commission allows people to register both their home and cell phone numbers to avoid unwanted telemarketing calls.

The effectiveness of the Do Not Call rule in the U.S. and Canada’s move toward adopting the same legislation have prompted some companies to develop methods to get around the restrictions.
