Canada’s existing competition regime is unfair for small business. We surveyed over 1,000 small business owners to understand how competition policy has affected them.
The key findings from our survey are:
- Small businesses are increasingly dealing and competing with larger companies
- The increasing size of companies is making it harder for small businesses to compete
- Small business is increasingly affected by concentrated industries
- Small business owners see mergers and acquisitions as a driver of these issues
- Small businesses want more active government engagement to ensure they can compete in a fair marketplace
