In our view, the Competition Act would be strengthened if you drew a clear line between egregious criminal behaviour, such as price-fixing, to which conspiracy provisions should apply, and behaviour that is really an arrangement among competitors to compete more effectively, and which, if it has any anti-competitive aspects, would be assessed under civil law rather than criminal law.
À notre avis, la Loi sur la concurrence se trouverait renforcée si on établissait une distinction plus claire entre un comportement criminel grave, comme l'établissement des prix, comportement qui serait assujetti aux dispositions relatives aux complots, et une entente visant à favoriser la concurrence entre sociétés rivales, entente dont les effets anticoncurrentiels pourraient être mieux évalués en vertu du droit civil.
