The Future of Competition Policy in Canada - EPUB

The Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry in Canada invited submissions from the public as part of a review of Canada’s Competition Act, with an original deadline of February 27, 2023. This document contains Consumers Council of Canada’s submission, which points out that current competition law has eroded consumer welfare during a period of lacklustre growth in household incomes. It advises that failure to protect consumers in the marketplace is contributing to economic inequality. The submission recommends a series of remedies to better protect the interests of consumers within the Canadian economy.
