The Canadian Anti-Spam Law of 2010 has a few purposes. The main goal is to help the Canadian economy work better. To do this, the law controls how people can send "commercial electronic messages." These messages can be emails, texts, sounds, voices, or images. The law stops people from doing things that make it harder to use electronic ways to do business. This includes:
- Doing things that make it harder to use electronic ways to do business
- Making businesses and people pay more money
- Breaking privacy and sharing secret information
- Making people not trust electronic ways to do business in Canada and other countries
