Changes to the Competition Act: What employers need to know
August 2, 2022
On June 23, An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on April 7, 2022, and other measures (the “BIA”) received Royal Assent. The BIA was the subject of Bill C-19, which was introduced on April 7, 2022, and contains a series of amendments to the Competition Act (the “Act”). While those amendments are significant, they are just a first step in modernizing Canada’s competition regime as announced by the Canadian government in the winter of 2022.
