On October 6, 2011 the Competition Bureau issued its updated Merger Enforcement Guidelines.

The Bureau’s new MEGs, which set out its approach to the substantive review of mergers in Canada, are the first update to the MEGs since 2004 and the result of publication consultations across Canada in 2010 and 2011.

The Bureau has also recently issued a number of new (or updated existing) merger related guidelines, policies and reports.  These include: Merger Review Performance Report (2010),  Competition Bureau Merger Remedies Study Summary, Competition Bureau Fees and Service Standards Handbook for Mergers and Merger-Related Matters, Procedures Guide for Notifiable Transactions and Advance Ruling Certificates Under the Competition Act, Hostile Transactions Interpretation Guidelines, Pre-Merger Notification Interpretation Guidelines and Merger Review Process Guidelines.
