The Competition Bureau ((フランス語:Bureau de la concurrence)) is an independent Canadian law enforcement agency that ensures that businesses operate in a competitive manner.〔(Competition Bureau - Our Organization )〕 Headed by the Commissioner of Competition, the Bureau is responsible for the administration and enforcement of the ''Competition Act'', the ''Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act'', the ''Textile Labelling Act'' and the ''Precious Metals Marking Act''. The basic operating assumption of the Competition Bureau is that competition is good for both business and consumers. ==The Commissioner of Competition== The current Commissioner of Competition is John Pecman. He served as Senior Deputy Commissioner of Competition, Criminal Matters, before being appointed to his current position. The Commissioner is responsible for the administration and enforcement of the ''Competition Act'' and three labelling statutes, the ''Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act'', the ''Precious Metals Marking Act'' and the ''Textile Labelling Act''. Under the ''Competition Act'', the Commissioner can launch inquiries, challenge civil and merger matters before the Competition Tribunal, make recommendations on criminal matters to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, and intervene as a competition advocate before federal and provincial bodies. As head of the Canadian Competition Bureau, the Commissioner leads the Bureau's participation in international fora such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the International Competition Network (ICN), to develop and promote coordinated competition laws and policies in an increasingly globalized marketplace. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Competition Bureau」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
