- Advertising Medium/Platform: [MEDIUM]
- Primary Target Province(s): [TARGET_PROVINCE]
- Product/Service Category: [PRODUCT_SERVICE_TYPE]
- Campaign Scale: [CAMPAIGN_SCALE]

COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK:
Analyze the content against the following regulatory frameworks (apply only those relevant to medium/industry):

1. **Competition Act (Federal)** - False/misleading representations, deceptive telemarketing, bait-and-switch tactics, performance claims substantiation
2. **CASL (Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation)** - Consent requirements, disclosure obligations, unsubscribe mechanisms (if electronic)
3. **ASC Canadian Code of Advertising Standards** - General standards, prohibited practices, special categories (alcohol, cannabis, children)
4. **Provincial Consumer Protection Acts** - Specific provincial requirements (cooling-off periods, contract terms, language requirements)
5. **Quebec Charter of the French Language** - Language requirements for signage, packaging, and public advertising in Quebec
6. **Industry-Specific Regulations** - Health Canada (health claims), FINTRAC (financial), Transport Canada, etc.
7. **Influencer Marketing Guidelines** - Disclosure of material connections (if applicable)

REQUIRED ANALYSIS STRUCTURE:

**1. EXECUTIVE RISK SUMMARY**
- Overall Risk Rating: [Low/Medium/High/Critical]
- Primary Risk Categories: [List top 3]
- Estimated Regulatory Exposure: [Brief assessment]

**2. VIOLATIONS & NON-COMPLIANCE**
For each issue found, provide:
- **Specific Clause**: Exact regulation/code section violated
- **Offending Content**: Quote the problematic text/describe visual element
- **Legal Issue**: Explain why this violates the regulation
- **Risk Level**: Individual severity (Low/Medium/High)
- **Enforcement Context**: Recent similar cases or penalties (if relevant)

**3. MISSING REQUIRED ELEMENTS**
List mandatory disclosures not present:
- Pricing disclaimers (if applicable)
- Terms and conditions references
- Unsubscribe links (electronic)
- Material connection disclosures (influencers)
- Bilingual requirements (Quebec/federal)

**4. JURISDICTIONAL SPECIFICS**
- Quebec Language Law compliance analysis
- Province-specific consumer protection issues
- Municipal advertising bylaws (if relevant)

**5. REMEDIATION STRATEGY**
For each violation, provide:
- **Immediate Fix**: Specific rewritten text or design change
- **Alternative Approach**: If the claim cannot be made compliantly
- **Substantiation Requirements**: What evidence is needed to support claims

**6. PRE-LAUNCH CHECKLIST**
- Actionable steps to achieve compliance
- Documentation to maintain (substantiation files, consent records)
- Review timeline recommendations

**7. BEST PRACTICES BEYOND COMPLIANCE**
- Industry-standard disclosures that exceed minimum requirements
- Risk mitigation strategies for future campaigns

CONSTRAINTS:
- Do not provide definitive legal opinions; flag when formal legal review is mandatory
- Distinguish between mandatory requirements and recommended best practices
- Note any areas where provincial laws conflict or overlap
- If the medium is electronic, prioritize CASL analysis; if Quebec is targeted, prioritize language law analysis
Best Use Cases

Auditing email marketing sequences for CASL compliance (consent verification, unsubscribe mechanisms, sender identification)
