The future of competition policy in Canada.: Iu173-40/2022E-PDF
"With the last comprehensive review of the Competition Act in 2007-08, there have been increasing calls to revisit the way this law operates, and how the Government can better protect markets that benefit Canada's economy and its participants. Although reform to this law is only one of several avenues that the Government has pursued to modernize our economic frameworks, it is committed to a renewed role for the Competition Bureau in protecting the public in our modern marketplace, in line with steps taken by many of Canada's key international partners. … While amendments to the Competition Act contained in 2022 Budget implementation legislation took initial steps to address aspects of the law where solutions to shortcomings in the law were readily identifiable, the Government now seeks to improve the framework more fundamentally. As it considers further, more substantial reform, the Government is canvassing a wide variety of views on how to improve the framework most effectively. This paper explores the main pillars of the Competition Act, and how its provisions may be modernized to better serve the public interest"--Executive summary, pages 4-5.
