p>The Canadian government has passed legislation that will
prohibit the sending of commercial electronic messages unless the
messages meet both consent and content requirements. While there
are provisions in the legislation that will assist not-for-profit
organizations ("NFPs") and charities in certain
circumstances, NFPs and charities do have to comply with the law as
there is no general exemption for these organizations.
