The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that Matthew Boswell has been reappointed as head of the Competition Bureau for a further two years, leading the agency's enforcement efforts as Ottawa overhauls the Competition Act. The Globe's Irene Galea writes that as the Commissioner of Competition since 2019, Mr. Boswell has argued that the country's competition legislation is not fit for a modern economy. He has taken a more vocal advocacy role before Parliament than his predecessors, an approach that has led the government to launch a review of its merger and competition policies. Ottawa has subsequently brought two bills before Parliament. Bill C-56, the Affordable Housing and Groceries Act, was given royal assent this month. The legislation included a victory for Mr. Boswell on his long-term position that the "efficiency defence" should be removed from law. Among the most high-profile of Mr. Boswell's fights was his effort to block the $20-billion Rogers takeover of Shaw. Mr. Boswell's efforts have also included the grocery and cinema sectors. His bureau this year handed down a $50-million fine to Canada Bread and looked into allegations that Cineplex used deceptive marketing practices to sell tickets.
