A few interesting competition and regulatory law developments caught my eye today including:

The Federal Privacy Commissioner announced that she would be tabling the annual PIPEDA Report in Parliament tomorrow: Media Advisory – Commissioner’s annual report on private-sector privacy issues expected to be tabled in Parliament, Privacy Commissioner news release.

Late last week the Federal Attorney General appointed a new Competition Bureau Chairman: Competition Tribunal Appointment Announced.

Gus Van Harten of Osgoode Hall Law School has published an interesting, if critical, note on Canada’s foreign investment rules (thanks to our friend Harpinder Mangat at Carswell who Tweeted this): Not all foreign takeovers are good for Canada.

Rogers Communications’ President commented on the new “asymmetrical” Canadian telecom ownership rules (reprinted in the Star from Bloomberg): Rogers disappointed with changes to foreign ownership rules.

AntitrustConnect published an interesting note discussing the antitrust risk of information sharing between competitors (by Jacqueline Shipchandler and Timothy Newman): Information Sharing: Still Risky After All These Years.

An announcement was made that the Minister of Industry will deliver a keynote address at the Canadian Telecom Summit tomorrow: Minister Paradis to Address Canadian Telecom Summit.
