TheTyee.ca quotes Ottawa lawyer, John Pecman, in an article on changes that need to be made to the Competition Bureau.
Former Competition Bureau commissioner John Pecman notes a federal election is looming: ‘What better way of targeting the middle class or consumers than saying there’s going to be a review of the Competition Act, given the growing concern about corporate concentration?’
In a phone interview with The Tyee last week, Pecman elaborated, saying that federal laws governing corporate competition reflect Canada’s outdated view of itself as primarily a resource exporter and otherwise unable to compete with the big U.S. economy next door.
