Compete to Win: Competition Policy Review Panel report
After a year of research and consultation, and with considerable input from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Competition Policy Review Panel provided its report to the Government of Canada, titled Compete to Win. The report, released June 26, 2008, puts forward a series of policy recommendations aimed at making Canada a more attractive destination for talent, investment and innovation. Greater competitive intensity in Canada will yield better products at lower prices, more jobs and higher earnings, stronger companies, and a stronger economy.
