Canada Goose applauds passage of Combating Counterfeit Products Act in Canadian House of Commons
TORONTO, Oct. 2, 2014 /CNW/ - Canada Goose, a leading manufacturer of outdoor luxury apparel, today applauds the passage of the Combating Counterfeit Products Act in Canada's House of Commons.
"Today, MPs in the House of Commons stood firmly against counterfeit goods and we wholeheartedly applaud their important decision," said Kevin Spreekmeester, CMO, Canada Goose. "They voted to support new measures that will help stem the tide of illicit goods entering Canada, and Canadians will soon see meaningful benefits. These new anti-counterfeit measures are a vital first step in protecting not only Canadian businesses and potential jobs, but Canadian consumers, from the dangers of counterfeit products."
Counterfeits worldwide are now an estimated $650 billion a year problem and counterfeits in Canada have been a growing health and safety problem. Year over year the RCMP has reported a steady increase in the importation and availability of counterfeit goods which has impacted almost every industry from pharmaceuticals to technology. From alcohol, contact lenses and cosmetics, to computers, medicine, toys and batteries, counterfeit products are readily accessible and putting Canadians in harm's way.
