The Exemption of Specialization Agreements - As Proposed for Stage II Amendments to the Combines Investigation Act

Klaus Stegemann

Working Paper from Economics Department, Queen's University

Abstract: In March 1977, the Government of Canada introduced Bill C-42 proposing a second phase of amendments to the Combines Act. This paper examines Section 31.76 of the bill which under certain conditions would exempt specialization agreements from the general prohibition of arrangement in restraint of competition. The Government has taken a relatively cautious approach by proposing a narrow definition for exemptable agreements and by requiring strong safeguards for competition which would give the Competition Board the power to make an exemption conditional on a reduction or removal of import barriers.
