Competition Bureau Seeks Public Comment on its Regulated Conduct Bulletin

OTTAWA, November 1, 2005 – The Competition Bureau is seeking public comment on a draft Technical Bulletin on "Regulated" Conduct that sets out how it would approach the enforcement of the Competition Act in situations where conduct is regulated by other laws enacted by various levels of government.

The Bulletin replaces the Bureau’s 2002 Information Bulletin on the RCD in light of recent case law and consultations.

Comments and/or suggestions on the revised bulletin can be submitted by e-mail, fax, or regular mail by February 3, 2006. All submissions will be made available to the public and will be posted on the Bureau's Web site, except where confidentiality is specifically requested.

Please send comments to:
