ESA Protest Registration Page Email address for protest questions and information is esaprotest@ontrak.net There are several ways to register your protest to this unfair and unlawful TAX on manufacturers. First and foremost, DO NOT REGISTER OR PAY ANY FEES TO THE ESA. You are under no legal obligation to do so until the Ontario Government amends O.R. 438/07 changing the deemed approvals clause in section 2. We are petitioning the government NOT to change O.R. 428/07 as we believe the existing regulation making product certification through a CB mandatory will continually improve product safety regardless of any actions by the ESA. We will continually petition the Ontario Government until they assure us the ESA registration fee scheme will be withdrawn, or they do indeed amend O.R 438/07. If the governemnt amends O.R. 438/07, we will continue to petition for the amendment to be withdrawn by other public means. If you are a CANADIAN Electrical/Electronics manufacturer At Present, you can help by sending a letter/email to the Ministry of Small Business and Consumer Services expressing your concerns about the ESA scheme and that O.R. 438/07 should not be amended to give the ESA powers of direct taxation on your business. The Minister is Harinder Takar and his email is htakhar.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org The ministry address is ; Ministry of Small Business and Consumer Services 6th Floor, Mowat Block Toll-free: 1-866-668-4249 or Please send a copy of your letter to esaprotest@ontrak.net or FAX to (705 ) 671-6127, so that we can keep track of the protest progress and provide you with updates as to our fight. There is no need to send a letter of protest to the ESA as they will simply send a form letter back to you and the Minister ( or us ) will likely never know of your protest. IMPORTANT If you are a US Electrical/Electronics manufacturer If you did receive a copy of the letter from the ESA via your CB, the US Department of Commerce-International Trade Association would like to hear from you as they will be pursuing this matter through diplomatic efforts and a possible NAFTA appeal. They have asked us not to put their contact information of the website and instead ask that you simply send an email to esaprotest@ontrak.net requesting the contact information or call Valerie at ( 705 ) 671 -2652 to register and receive the contact information. The procedure to register is simply a telephone call where the US DOC official will ask you a few questions about your company and thats it. You may have to leave a message and if so, we have been told by a few US contacts that they callback in a about a week.
