The Competition Act (French: Loi sur la concurrence) is a Canadian federal law governing competition in Canada. The Act contains both criminal and civil provisions aimed at preventing anti-competitive practices in the marketplace.
Along with the Competition Tribunal Act, the Competition Act forms the statutory basis of current federal competition policy in Canada.[1]
The Act is enforced and administered by the Competition Bureau, and cases are adjudicated by the Competition Tribunal.
