Natural gas "slam"

Tonight I was visited by someone who claimed to work for Union Gas, but was actually an agent of Ontario Energy Savings LP.  I will be watching my gas bill to see whether my gas supplier is changed without the confirmatory telephone call that was promised.

Here is the Code of Conduct for Gas Marketers:

2.1.3 A gas marketer shall do the following when marketing or making an offer to a consumer:
(a) immediately and truthfully identify itself to the consumer;
No.

(b) clearly indicate that the offer is not being made by a regulated distributor
No.

(e) not make any representation or statement or give any answer or take any measure that is false or is likely to mislead a consumer with regard to any term in an offer;
The agent said that gas rates go up a lot in the winter time, but they didn't last year!  But OES's fixed rate *is* lower than the Winter 2006 rate was.

(i) not use print that due to its size or other visual characteristics, is likely to impair materially the legibility or clarity of documents provided to consumers.
No.  My eyesight isn't so hot and that print was damn small.

2.2.1 A gas marketer shall, when marketing, use the name under which the gas marketer is licensed, and any reference to the name of a salesperson in any advertisement shall identify the gas marketer for whom that salesperson acts.
No.

2.5.2 An offer shall clearly state the price, terms of payment and if other terms such as:
deposits; exit fees; late charges;
No.  The contract apparently has an exit fee, but it is not specified.

2.10 Breach of this Code
2.10.1 Under section 52 of the Act, a gas marketer’ s licence can be suspended or revoked if the licence holder does not comply with this Code as issued and amended by the Board from time to time under Part III of the Act.
Yeah, right.  They'll inconvenience all of OES's customers just because I filed a complaint?  Tell me another one!
