Competition Policy

"Two influential U.S. opponents of unchecked corporate consolidation and power have weighed in on Ottawa's consultation in new competition rules for Canadian businesses."

"Lower prices, better treatment for workers and an economy not dominated by a handful of mega-corporations. That's the dream, at least, for some competition law reform advocates."

"For 150 years, Canadian politicians have been talking out of both sides of their mouths. They claim they want to promote competition. And then they pass laws that do the opposite."

“The institutions that make up the foundation of Canada’s competition laws concentrate the future of the field in too few hands and appear to be straining to meet their mandates. If Canada is to truly make competition a pillar of its economic policy, these institutions will need to change to meet the needs of a more active and vibrant competition law ecosystem.”

“The coming consultation is an occasion Canada can use to lay a strong foundation for bold and more far-reaching reform of its competition law. But to best use that moment, it must give all citizens an opportunity to contribute their perspectives on an issue that affects them daily.”
