What is the Federal Competition Bureau?

• A. A private think tank.
• B. A federal enforcement agency headed by the commissioner of competition.
• C. A provincial regulatory body in Manitoba.
• D. A municipal advisory board.

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is understanding what the federal Competition Bureau is. It’s a federal government agency in Canada responsible for enforcing competition law under the Competition Act, and it is led by the Commissioner of Competition. This means it investigates and takes action on anti-competitive practices, mergers that could lessen competition, and deceptive marketing, to keep markets fair and efficient. It isn’t a private think tank, a provincial regulatory body in Manitoba, or a municipal advisory board.
