An Alberta Con­ser­vat­ive MP is call­ing for Ott­awa to end a U.S.-based com­pany's dom­in­a­tion of sight­see­ing attrac­tions in Banff and Jasper national parks.

Canada’s competition watchdog wants the federal government to stop an American company’s dominance of the Banff and Jasper sightseeing industries.

Con­cerns over U.S. firm's dom­in­ance. Fed­eral agen­cies should reduce a U.S.-based com­pany's dom­in­ance of sight­see­ing attrac­tions in Banff and Jasper national parks that has driven up prices for vis­it­ors, says a com­pet­i­tion watch­dog.

'It's an extreme level of market concentration that in any other area would be cause for concern,' said the the Canadian Anti-Monopoly Project's Keldon Bester.
