CRA is a proud sponsor of the event.

Renee Duplantis is a speaker during the opening plenary session titled “Fit for Purpose? Canadian Competition Law 2.0 in the Time of Tariffs.”

This session will consider the legislative rationale for many of the most significant recent Competition Act amendments and whether the amendments have had and can be expected to have the desired effects of boosting competition and productivity in an era of economic and political uncertainty. The panel will also consider new Competition Bureau guidance and enforcement developments in the broader political and economic context of new internal and international trade negotiations. Particular attention will be paid to the new structural presumptions and whether Canadian merger review aligns with the Government’s other policy considerations, including resiliency in the face of tariffs, and the enforcement practice of Canada’s trading partners.
