There is clearly no issue facing Canadians that is of higher importance than dealing with climate change. The Government of Canada’s current initiative to reform the Competition Act presents a unique opportunity to reform the Act’s provisions to better deter deceptive advertising – particularly deceptive advertising that poses a direct threat to global climate stability.
