"Speaking Out Against Counterfeiting and Piracy"
Retail Council of Canada Endorses Anti-Counterfeiting Report

Counterfeiting is responsible for billions of dollars in losses to the Canadian economy, according to RCMP estimates, and has been directly linked to organized crime.

Retail Council of Canada is seriously concerned about the impact of counterfeiting and piracy on Canadian businesses and its impact on the health and safety of Canadian workers and consumers.

Goods that are commonly counterfeited include pharmaceutical products, electrical products, software, movies, music, toys, food, wine, personal care products, automobile parts and luxury goods.

Retail Council of Canada is proud to endorse "A Road Map for Change," the most comprehensive and detailed study of Canada's counterfeiting problem published to date.

This document was presented to key federal government officials earlier this week and is available online at http://www.cacn.ca/PDF/CACN%20Releases/Roadmap_for_Change.pdf.

Retail Council of Canada will continue to work on behalf of its members — small, mid- and large — their employees and the customers they serve to speak out against counterfeiting and piracy and to demand federal government action to combat this disturbing trend.
