ACHASM IN SUPPORT OF CBE APPLICATION TO THE COMPETITION COMMISSION

The CBE seeks to exempt the professional councils’ rules relating to the Identification of Work (“the IDOW rules”) from the provisions of Chapter 2 of the Competition Act. The IDOW rules provide for the reservation of work for certain registered professionals with a certain level of competency in their respective professions. The effect of the IDOW rules is that certain unregistered professionals are prevented from performing work identified for any category of the registered professionals. Thus, the IDOW rules may substantially lessen or prevent the competition.
