The Competition Bureau has obtained a court order to gather information and advance an ongoing investigation into Kalibrate's data, pricing and consultation services. Kalibrate offers services to a variety of industries, including the Canadian retail gas industry.
The order, granted by the Federal Court of Canada, requires Kalibrate to produce records and written information relevant to the Bureau's investigation.
The investigation relates to how Kalibrate provides pricing guidance to gas station operators, as well as visibility on their competitors through its various products.
The Bureau is looking to determine whether these products have an adverse effect on competition between gas stations in Canada. There is no conclusion of wrongdoing at this time.
