Today, the Competition Bureau is launching a public consultation to gather input from Canadians on specific questions related to the new greenwashing provisions of the Competition Act.

This consultation will inform the Bureau's development of enforcement guidance about environmental claims, including related to the new provisions.

The new provisions about greenwashing were added to the law following a series of amendments that took place on June 20, 2024. Simply stated, businesses are now required to have testing or substantiation to support certain environmental claims.

The Bureau invites interested parties to provide feedback on the consultation questions
