(November 26 – 14:10 ET) – The
Competition Bureau has to get more
efficient, says a recent report
from the University of Ottawa law
school. The Bureau must develop
industry specific expertise to
speed decisions.
The Bureau needs a more
effective communications strategy,
to encourage “compliance, enhancing
the legitimacy of [its] activities
and providing an informed basis for
public discussion.”
Entitled “Anticompetitive
Pricing Practices and the
Competition Act Theory, Law and
Practice,” the report has a series
of recommendations for improving
the application of competition law
in Canada. Existing criminal
provisions “dealing with price
discrimination, predatory pricing
and price maintenance” must be
reformed, say the authors Anthony
VanDuzer and Gilles Paquet.
