#Quebec’s #ConsumerProtectionOffice (#OPC) will begin imposing increased fines for merchants or individuals in the province who breach sections of the #ConsumerProtectionAct.

Starting Sunday, the office can impose fines of up to $1,750 per day for individuals and $3,500 in “other cases” for “objectively observable breaches” such as #HiddenFees, not providing services that are advertised or not having a proper business permit.
