Competition Policy Review Panel Opens Website & Releases Consultation Paper

“Our Panel has been asked to provide recommendations on how Canada should adapt and move forward in a new environment of global competition,” said L.R. Wilson. “We must ensure that our policies are modern and effective, to enable Canadian firms to maximize their productivity and competitiveness. The title of our paper, Sharpening Canada’s Competitive Edge, is our guiding principle, and we are seeking input from Canadians and interested parties on how to maximize Canada’s competitive position.” The Panel’s mandate is to focus on investment and competition broadly, including the Investment Canada Act and the Competition Act. Sharpening Canada’s Competitive Edge poses a number of questions about competition and investment in Canada, the answers to which will inform the Panel’s eventual recommendations. The Panel invites written submissions from Canadians and interested parties on the issues presented in the paper. Submissions will be accepted to a maximum of 20 pages (including attachments), until January 11, 2008. here's their consultation paper: http://www.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/cprp-gepmc.nsf/vwapj/sharpening_e.pdf/$FILE/sharpening_e.pdf or a summary (CHECK IT OUT!!): http://www.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/cprp-gepmc.nsf/en/00010e.html & their website: http://www.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/cprp-gepmc.nsf/en/home [Proofreader’s note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on October 31, 2007]
