We welcome Nortera and B&G Foods’ joint decision not to proceed with their proposed transaction involving the Green Giant and Le Sieur brands. Our investigation found the deal was likely to lead to higher prices and fewer choices.

As Canadians increasingly encounter AI, transparency matters.

That’s why our recommendations to @ISED_CA focus on helping consumers make informed decisions, preserving competition, and addressing harms rather than specific technologies.

We’re investigating the use of minimum advertised pricing policies in retail grocery. These policies set the lowest price at which a retailer can advertise a product.

We want to hear from those with experience with these policies. https://t.co/N1yotOPlGy

We’ve reached an agreement with Kalibrate to change how it shares data about gas stations, helping protect competition and benefit Canadians at the pump.

🎵 You used to call me on my cell phone... to tell me about a "50% OFF" deal.📱

But a sale isn't a bargain if the advertised discount is based on an inflated regular price.💸

If you’re shopping for back-to-school deals, from laptops to phone plans, be wary of fake sales.

Removing unnecessary internal trade barriers will strengthen competition, improve food affordability, and support more resilient supply chains in Canada.
