May 15, 2025 – GATINEAU (Québec), Competition Bureau

The Competition Bureau has published its 2025-2026 Annual Plan ꟷ Strengthening competition in a changing economy. It outlines the Bureau’s plans as the country faces rapid shifts in trade, market dynamics and technology.

Important changes to the Competition Act have strengthened the Bureau’s ability to protect and promote competition. In the coming year, the Bureau will continue to build on the strong foundation laid by these legislative changes, with a focus on the digital economy and sectors that most directly impact Canadians. 

In 2025-2026, the Bureau will:

• Use all available tools to prevent, identify, and address anti-competitive activity, with a focus on sectors of the economy that matter to Canadians.
• Encourage decision-makers to adopt pro-competitive policies that drive economic growth.
• Create and deepen its international and domestic relationships.
• Increase its outreach and promotion efforts to reach a wider audience of consumers and businesses.
• Ensure it has the tools and expertise needed to keep up with new business practices, enforcement strategies, and technologies.

These efforts will advance the Bureau’s Strategic Vision to become a world-leading competition agency that is at the forefront of the digital economy and champions a culture of competition for Canada.
