10. No-poach and wagefixing agreements - a Canadian perspective.

Author

Pecman, John, Margison, Chris, and Spillette, Robin

Subjects
CARTELS, LABOR market, GOVERNMENT agencies
Abstract

This article considers what the Canadian approach should be to the regulation of no-poach and wage-fixing agreements. It provides an overview of the dualtrack approach to agreements between competitors included in the Canadian Competition Act; explains why no-poach and wage-fixing agreements have become such a 'front and centre' issue in Canada for both the Canadian Competition Bureau and politicians; describes the approach to no-poach and wage-fixing agreements in Canada and in various jurisdictions around the world; and discusses the path forward in Canada, including our opinion that the Bureau will likely push for amendments bringing no-poach and wage-fixing agreements within the scope of the Competition Act's per se criminal cartel provision - inline with the approach of enforcement agencies in the United States. However, this article highlights that the nuanced and contextual effects of no-poach and wage-fixing agreements, which have yet to be fully understood in Canadian labour markets, may necessitate a more fulsome analysis of these agreements under section 90.1 of the Competition Act.
