The Competition Bureau is an independent law enforcement agency that advocates for and protects Canadian consumers and works to foster a competitive and innovative marketplace in which Canadian businesses can prosper. The Cartels Directorate detects, investigates and deters hard core cartels, including conspiracies, agreements or arrangements among competitors and potential competitors to fix prices, rig bids, allocate markets or restrict supply.
 

Please Note: The session originally scheduled for September 30 was rescheduled to October 1 out of respect for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, which is observed across much of the public sector.
