Define “Restore”: Canada’s New Remedies Standard for Mergers

On December 5, Axinn partner Craig Minerva will speak on the virtual panel, "Define 'Restore': Canada’s New Remedies Standard for Mergers," hosted by the Canadian Bar Association.  

Panelists will unpack the “restore competition” standard for merger remedies introduced as part of Bill C-59 in June 2024. They will discuss the motivation and rationale behind amending Canada’s remedies standard, how the change may affect the remedy strategies of merging parties before the Bureau, and the types of evidence – economic or otherwise – that may be deployed to demonstrate the restoration or preservation of competition to absent merger levels.
