Canadian Competition Policy

Canadian Competition Policy aims to promote fair and open markets by preventing anti-competitive behaviors like monopolies, price fixing, and deceptive practices. It seeks to ensure consumers have access to a variety of goods and services at fair prices, while encouraging businesses to innovate and compete. The Competition Bureau enforces these rules, reviewing mergers and corporate conduct to maintain healthy competition. Overall, the policy balances allowing businesses to grow with protecting consumers and the economy from practices that could harm market efficiency or fairness.
