Hostile transactions interpretation guideline number 1 : bureau policy on disclosure of information.: Iu54-37/1-2011E-PDF

"Generally, in providing information, including in the context of a hostile transaction, the Bureau is guided by section 29 of the Competition Act (the "Act") and the enforcement policy and practice articulated in the Bureau's Information Bulletin on the Communication of Confidential Information Under the Competition Act (the "Bulletin"). Section 29 protects information provided to or obtained by the Bureau, including the identity of any persons who have provided it, subject to certain exceptions. In particular, this section provides for the communication of information in four circumstances: to a Canadian law enforcement agency; for the purposes of the administration or enforcement of the Act; where information has been made public; or when authorized by the person who provided the information. Please consult the Bulletin for further details on the scope and application of section 29 of the Act"--Policy, p. 3.
