Canadians now have a new tool to block calls from telemarketers.
A national do-not-call list comes into force Tuesday. The list is being run by Canada's broadcast regulator, the Canadian Radio, Television and Telecommunications Commission.
Once a number is on the list, telemarketers will be barred from dialing that number, or face a hefty fine of up to $15,000 if they do call.
There are some exceptions, such as pollsters, researchers and government agencies.
A poll found that two-thirds of the one-thousand Canadians questioned intend to get their names on the list.
