Competition Act

The Competition Act (also known as C-34) is a Canadian federal law governing most business conduct. Its purpose is to maintain and encourage competition in Canada. The Act contains both criminal and civil provisions aimed at preventing anti-competitive practices in the marketplace.

The act was introduced by the conservative government of Brian Mulroney and came into effect in 1986.[1] The administration and enforcement of the Competition Act is done by the Competition Bureau,[2] which is also responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act, the Textile Labelling Act and the Precious Metals Marking Act.
