Ontario rules for a business with a website

• Depending on what you do, you may need licences and permits to run your business under federal, provincial or municipal regulations. Ontario.ca: licences and permits
• PIPEDA sets the ground rules for how private-sector organizations collect, use and disclose personal information. Office of the Privacy Commissioner: PIPEDA
• Under Canadian competition law, it is against the law to make materially false or misleading representations to promote a product, service or business interest, and the law also prohibits the unauthorized use or distortion of tests and testimonials. Competition Bureau
