Practical Law Canada Competition (of which I am Lawyer Editor) has published a new Legal Update, which discusses the Competition Bureau’s (Bureau) recent statement on no-poaching and wage-fixing agreements between competing employers. Such agreements have increasing been the subject of debate following U.S. enforcement in relation to tech company no-poaching agreements, enforcement guidance issued by the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission and, in Canada, questions including by Parliamentarians whether grocery chain decisions to cut employee wages violated the federal Competition Act. Contrary to the guidance issued by U.S. antitrust enforcement agencies, Canada’s Bureau has taken the narrower position that no-poaching and wage-fixing agreements between employers can be challenged civilly under section 90.1 of the Competition Act but not criminally under section 45 of the Act. Below is an excerpt with a link to the full Legal Update.
