The sessions will discuss primarily how the new amendments may affect the public
The Competition Bureau announced that it will host two online public information sessions on September 8 and 9 to inform the public about legislative changes recently made to the Competition Act.
The sessions will primarily discuss how the new amendments may affect the public, which include:
The changes seek to strengthen the Competition Bureau’s ability to protect Canadian consumers, businesses, and workers from anti-competitive conduct and are part of the Budget Implementation Act, 2022, No. 1 (Bill C-19), which took effect on June 23.
“These amendments are an important step in modernizing Canada's competition law and building a more competitive Canadian economy,” Commissioner of Competition Matthew Boswell said. “We invite Canadians, businesses, and other interested parties to attend these info sessions to better understand how to comply with the law.”
Those interested in attending the sessions may send their inquiries and register through this link until August 22.
