The Canada Competition Bureau today released its 2015-2018 Strategic Vision and its 2015-2016 Annual Plan. These are two key components of its new integrated planning approach intended to strengthen the link between the Bureau’s actions and its longer-term goals in insuring competition, the Bureau announced.
The 2015-2018 Strategic Vision sets out the five strategic objectives that will guide the Bureau’s work for Canadians over the next three years. Throughout 2015-2018, the Bureau intends to (1) increase compliance, (2) empower Canadians, (3) promote competition, (4) collaborate with partners, and (5) champion excellence.
These three-year strategic objectives emphasize that:
Safeguarding Canadians against anti-competitive conduct through active enforcement will continue to be the Bureau’s main focus;
Strengthening competition promotion and awareness will be essential to realizing all the benefits of a competitive marketplace in Canada; and
Continuing to increase collaboration, openness and transparency will make the Bureau more efficient and effective in delivering the benefits of a competitive marketplace to Canadians.
The Bureau’s Strategic Vision is accompanied by the 2015-2016 Annual Plan, which outlines the specific ways the Bureau will deliver on each of its strategic objectives this year.
