I am pleased to be a guest speaker at the CSAE (Canadian Society of Association Executives) Trillium Chapter’s 2016 Winter Summit in Burlington on February 4th. I will be co-presenting an interactive seminar on the Competition Bureau’s new approach to competition compliance for associations together with Mark Katz (Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP) and Nadia Brault, Director of Compliance at the Competition Bureau’s Competition Promotion Branch.
Overview
Last June, the Competition Bureau finalized its new approach to Canadian competition law compliance and issued a new Corporate Compliance Programs Bulletin. The Bureau’s new approach includes some major changes including for associations. Some of the Bureau’s key association related recommendations include that associations adopt credible and effective compliance programs and that companies consider compliance training for personnel attending association events. The Bureau’s new compliance materials also include specific compliance guidelines for associations. This presentation will tell you what you need to know about the Bureau’s new approach to competition compliance for associations, through an interactive format, as well as practical and efficient options to comply with the Bureau’s new compliance guidelines.
