David Rosner Quoted in "Feds call on competition bureau to address Big Data", Canadian Lawyer

The Government of Canada is calling on the Competition Bureau to address the “unprecedented challenges” arising from digital technology, including scrutinizing the potentially anti-competitive nature of Big Data while maintaining the innovation that advancements in the tech sector provide the economy. David Rosner was recently interviewed by Canadian Lawyer to discuss: 

“There seems to be a consensus that new business models require a different form of oversight or regulation and Canada wants to participate in the conversation that will ultimately develop that framework and to understand what variant of that framework is best for the Canadian context,” says Goodmans LLP Partner David Rosner, who is a member of the firm’s competition, antitrust and foreign investment group.

The accumulation, control and possible abuse of data is a topic on which the bureau has been focused and is reflected in its involvement encouraging governments to permit ride-booking companies such as Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft, as well as in the bureau’s new abuse of dominance enforcement guidelines, Rosner says.
