August 25, 2010
The 2010 Canadian Bar Association Annual Competition Law Fall Conference will be held from September 30 to October 1, 2010 in Gatineau, Quebec.
The 2010 Fall Competition Law Conference is presented by the Canadian Bar Association’s National Competition Law Section will highlight fundamental changes made to Canada’s competition laws in 2009 and 2010:
“Competition law in Canada has never been as important as it is today. Fundamental changes in 2009 and 2010 to the Competition Act have ushered in a new era of enforcement, with key amendments to the law regarding cartels and merger review, new penalties for abuse of dominance and increased penalties for misleading advertising. Moreover, recent court decisions have potentially broadened the scope for Competition Act based class actions. The Investment Canada Act has also witnessed significant recent changes, including the introduction of a national security review process.
Please join us at the CBA Competition Law Section’s 2010 Annual Fall Competition Law Conference, which will bring together an outstanding roster of leading Canadian and international competition lawyers, economists and government officials to discuss the current and future state of Canadian competition law. In addition to a variety of information-packed sessions, the conference also features a lunch address from the Commissioner of Competition, Melanie L. Aitken, as well as a dinner address (for dinner registrants) by Andrew Coyne, National Editor of Maclean’s.”
