Thank you for that question.
As I said earlier, we are recommending further study on expanding it to include business general claims, environmental claims or brand general environmental claims.
In terms of the specific recommendations that this committee has received with respect to greenwashing, it's probably best if we don't take a particular position.
What I can say is that if there is a move to have very prescriptive rules about what a company can and can't say when it comes to environmental claims or what a company must disclose in relation to environmental claims, I would suggest that the Competition Act probably isn't the right vehicle for that kind of regulation or legislation. That might be an Environment Canada thing or a provincial thing. Ours is a law of general application that has general provisions, as opposed to specifically saying what a company can and can't say, or what they have to provide at the time of making a statement.
I think that would probably be the best answer in terms of the bureau's view on these things, because we like to try to maintain the line that the Competition Act is a law of general application without very specific, targeted provisions relating to those sorts of things.
