The government has made substantive changes to the Competition Act, casting uncertainty over Canada’s dealmaking landscape. In a complete reversal of its approach, the Competition Bureau now requires companies to prove a negative and show that their merger or acquisition does not diminish competition in the market.

The Exposure Draft progresses the Australian Government’s goal of reforming Australia’s merger control regime as currently set out in the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).

Our team: Dr Martyn Taylor, Dietrich Marquardt, Maxine R. and Elijah Ziegeler have summarised the key takeaways. Read more https://ow.ly/AoQ650SXlYQ

In the third article of our series on the changes to the Competition Act, we discuss the impact of the recent amendments on merger reviews in Canada. Summary of the major changes: ♦ The new rules place a renewed importance on market shares and market concentration in the merger analysis. In many cases, transacting parties will have the burden of demonstrating that their transaction is not anticompetitive. ♦ The merger notification thresholds include sales into Canada, and therefore capture a broader set of transactions that otherwise would have escaped mandatory review under the old law. ♦ Remedying a substantially anticompetitive merger requires fixing the merger to the point that it can no longer be said to harm competition at all.
