Canada has taken steps to streamline and strengthen its laws to protect competition and, in turn, Canadian consumers. This article distills commentary from Majid Charania, director of the Compliance and Outreach Unit at the Competition Bureau Canada, made during SCCE’s Compliance & Ethics Institute 2026, on how the Canadian antitrust regime works, recent changes to that regime and compliance best practices for companies with connections to Canada.
