An Act to amend the Competition Act
This enactment amends section 10.1 of the Competition Act to provide that the Commissioner of Competition may, in a market or industry inquiry report, make recommendations to a responsible federal or provincial institution respecting barriers to trade within Canada that, in the Commissioner's opinion, unduly affect the state of competition in the market or industry. It provides that the head of a federal institution must respond to any recommendation made to the institution within 120 days. It requires the Commissioner to publish the response received on a publicly available website. It provides that the head of a provincial institution may respond to any recommendation made to the institution within 120 days. It requires the Commissioner to publish the response — or, if no response is received, a notice to this effect — on a publicly available website.
