On 18 May 2017, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to fight unsolicited commercial electronic messages (spam) and the threats they pose to consumers in both countries.
The agreement promotes close cooperation in enforcing both countries’ spam laws. The agencies have committed to sharing information and intelligence, where permitted by the laws of each jurisdiction, for the purposes of enforcing commercial electronic messages.
