On October 15, 2026, the Competition Bureau announced a settlement with the Quebec real estate board that will ease data‑sharing restrictions previously found to breach the Competition Act.
The board had been determined to have violated the Act’s abuse‑of‑dominance provisions, and the agreement calls for the board to adjust its data‑sharing practices accordingly.
The Competition Bureau, which enforces Canada’s Competition Act, can negotiate settlements when firms are deemed to have abused dominant market positions.
