  • The Evolving Role of Competition Act Merger Review in the Transport and Broadcasting Sectors in Canada
    The Evolving Role of Competition Act Merger Review in the Transport and Broadcasting Sectors in Canada Richard Elliott [email protected] THE EVOLVING ROLE OF COMPETITION ACT MERGER REVIEW IN THE TRANSPORT AND BROADCASTING SECTORS IN CANADA Richard Elliott* I. Introduction The Competition Act1 is a law of general application which applies, for the most part, equally across diverse sectors of the Canadian economy. In the area of merger review, the Commissioner of the Competition ("Commissioner") and her staff the Competition Bureau ("Bureau") have traditionally reviewed all mergers under the common analytical framework established in the Merger Enforcement Guidelines ("MEGs").2 This same framework has been applied irrespective of whether a merger was also subject to concurrent merger review by another regulator. This paper looks at recent developments regarding regulatory review of mergers in the transport and broadcasting sectors in Canada and discusses whether they are likely to have any impact on the Bureau's role in respect of such mergers. The principal development in the transport area has been the extension in June 2007 of the Canada Transportation Act ("CTA") merger review regime from airlines to all transport sectors.3 This provides for the possibility that the Minister of Transport and Cabinet, not the Competition Tribunal ("Tribunal") or the courts, will have the ultimate decision making authority over mergers, including competition aspects, in the transport sector. In the broadcast sector, recent Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission ("CRTC") enforcement decisions and policy developments point to a focus on market concentration issues in a manner that may overlap with, although also diverge from, the reviewing role of the Bureau.
