Summary/Abstract: Canada’s Competition Act is the federal law governing most business conduct in Canada. It contains both criminal and civil provisions aimed at preventing anti- competitive practices in the marketplace. While the Canadian law is similar in many aspects with the law of the United States (the Sherman Antitrust Act) it is different in a number of important ways. One aspect is that Canadians use the term competition law rather than antitrust law, which is more common in the U.S.
