Consultation on the future of competition policy in Canada

March 23, 2024| Submission

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
