The amendments to the Competition Act<\/a> are specifically in the part dealing with Abuse of Dominant Position. Section 78 of that part defines a number of anti-competitive acts that should be helpful in a forborne regulatory environment.<\/p>\n

Competition Bureau chief Sheridan Scott is already confirmed to speak at The 2007 Canadian Telecom Summit<\/a> in June.<\/p>\n
