Competition Bureau Canada

The Competition Bureau is an independent law enforcement agency that protects and promotes competition for the benefit of Canadian consumers and businesses. Competition drives lower prices and innovation while fueling economic growth.

Headed by the Commissioner of Competition, the Bureau is responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Competition Act, the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act, the Textile Labelling Act and the Precious Metals Marking Act.

The basic operating assumption of the Competition Bureau is that competition is good for both business and consumers.

Competition:

• makes the economy work more efficiently;

• strengthens businesses' ability to adapt and compete in global markets;

• gives small and medium businesses an equitable chance to compete and participate in the economy;

• provides consumers with competitive prices, product choices and the information they need to make informed purchasing decisions; and

• balances the interests of consumers and producers, wholesalers and retailers, dominant players and minor players, the public interest and the private interest.
