CBA Competition Law Fall Conference (Recordings)
Turbulence, Transformation, and Trade Wars – Canadian Competition/Foreign Investment Review Law 2.0 One Year In
2025 saw completion of the most dramatic changes to Canada’s competition law and foreign investment review regimes in a generation – from new provisions incentivizing private applications for non-criminal conduct under the Competition Act to a substantial overhaul of the merger review regime to new (although not yet in force) pre-closing requirements for certain non-controlling investments under the Investment Canada Act. The significant amendments over the past three years include structural presumptions in merger review, the repeal of the efficiencies defence, expanding the scope of civil effects-based review beyond horizontal arrangements, the criminalization of no-poach and wage fixing, and reverse onus “greenwashing” amongst many other reforms. Passed under the last Parliament and consistent with elements of the antitrust agenda of the last US administration, it remains an open question whether Canada’s new regulatory regime is fit for purpose in a turbulent new world beset by tariffs initiated by Canada’s largest trading partner.
