22 COMPETITION LAW / CONCURRENCE (DROIT DE LA)

22.

COMPETITION LAW

This is a matter of primarily federal jurisdiction (by way of the Competition Act which aims at

preventing anti-competitive behaviours by Canadian businesses). Competition policy, as set

by the federal Parliament, is driven primarily by concepts of “fairness” in the marketplace, but

also by the desire to achieve economic eff‌iciency and adaptability. Related topics: COMMER-

CIAL LAW, CORPORATE LAW, PARTNERSHIPS. This area of law is sometimes referred to

as “Antitrust law.”

CONCURRENCE (DROIT DE LA)

Domaine de compétence fédérale destiné à contrer l’établissement de monopoles jugés nui-

sibles à une saine économie libérale. Il s’agit d’une loi pénale tout autant que régulatrice. Cer-

tains aspects du droit fédéral de la protection du CONSOMMATEUR s’y retrouvent.
