The Competition Bureau, alongside the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division and the Federal Economic Competition Commission of Mexico, launched a joint initiative today to detect and combat anti-competitive conduct by businesses and individuals involved in providing goods and services related to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Collaboration with American and Mexican competition authorities will allow the Bureau to be better equipped to combat illegal business practices such as price or wage fixing, bid rigging and market allocation.
The Bureau encourages anyone who suspects or possesses information regarding illegal agreements between competitors to report it on its website. The Bureau conducts its investigations in private and strives to protect the anonymity of those who submit information.
Illegal agreements undermine fair competition, threaten the integrity of markets, increase the cost and risk of doing business, and undermine public confidence.
