Study finds Canada could unlock major economic gains through stronger competition

( February 4, 2026, 15:21 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Canada’s Competition Bureau released an independent, peer-reviewed study, which found that removing regulatory barriers to competition in Canada could grow the economy by up to 10 percent over the long term. The study — The Potential Impact of Pro-competitive Regulatory Reforms on Productivity and Growth in Canada — was conducted by international productivity experts and published in the International Productivity Monitor. The authors highlight that current regulations in four key sectors—energy, transportation, retail distribution, and professional services—are more restrictive than necessary, and making them more competition-friendly would create a stronger environment for innovation, help close the productivity gap with leading economies, and raise living standards.Statement follows in full.
