The Competition Tribunal was created in 1986 when the Canadian Parliament enacted major reforms of Canada's competition law and replaced the Combines Investigation Act with the Competition Act. The Tribunal hears and decides all applications made under Parts VII.1 and VIII of the Canadian Competition Act as informally and quickly as the circumstances and consideration of fairness allow. The Tribunal is a strictly adjudicative body that operates independently of any government department. It does not have investigative powers nor does it provide advice to government. It has no function other than that associated with the hearing of applications and issuance of orders.
