Excerpt:

Competition and antitrust matters continue to attract significant attention in Canada. 

Canadian Commissioner of Competition, John Pecman, has made a number of significant public statements outlining his approach to enforcement and administration of the Competition Act going forward, both domestically and internationally.

Commissioner Pecman has signalled a renewed focus on the use of statutory investigative powers, and also has indicated a greater willingness to cooperate with competition authorities in other countries in major international investigations. He has pointed to the importance of non-enforcement compliance tools, including corporate compliance programmes.
