The concentration of corporate power in Canada can be traced back to the antiquated objectives of our nation’s competition policy. Our submission to the government’s review of the Competition Act provides sharp critiques and recommendations on a path forward.
We believe that five key economic outcomes can be achieved with the support of robust and active competition policy. This is not a complete list, but offers some of the best examples of how the Act is failing today, and why it is important for this review to be ambitious in its recommendations for a renewed Canadian competition regime. These outcomes are:
- Increased Entrepreneurship and Innovation
- Stronger Small Businesses
- Improved Job Quality
- Resilient Supply Chains
- Lower Prices
