Canadians need powerful new tools that save time and simplify the process of learning, comparing and complaining effectively." A website formed through strategic partnerships between more than 400 federal departments and agencies, provincial and territorial ministries and NGO partners offers a wide range of consumer information with a database searchable by province/territory as well as keyword.
