The Canada Competition Bureau has announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Transport Canada’s Policy Group to acknowledge their important relationship and the value of cooperation.

Transport Canada’s Policy Group offers advice, analysis, and data on transportation issues, system performance and stakeholder positions. The Bureau is an independent law enforcement agency that ensures that Canadian businesses and consumers prosper in a competitive and innovative market. The new MOU will help both organizations to carry out their mandates by establishing a framework for cooperation and collaboration in areas of mutual interest.

The Bureau is involved in a number of MOUs with domestic agencies, which allow the Bureau to expand and strengthen its collaboration efforts. Collaboration with domestic and international counterparts is key to the effective enforcement of the Competition Act and to promote competition.
