Competition Bureau

The Competition Bureau is a Canadian government agency that promotes and maintains fair competition in the marketplace. Its role includes investigating anti-competitive practices, such as price-fixing or misleading advertising, to protect consumers and businesses. The Bureau ensures that businesses compete fairly, which helps to encourage innovation, improve product quality, and lower prices. It also reviews mergers and acquisitions to prevent monopolies or situations that could harm competition. In essence, the Competition Bureau works to create a level playing field in the economy, benefiting consumers and the overall market.
