Canada investigates Amazon for potentially stifling price competition on its Canadian marketplace.

The Competition Bureau of Canada is investigating Amazon's pricing policy on its Canadian marketplace, Amazon.ca. The bureau is examining whether Amazon's Marketplace Fair Pricing Policy, which penalizes sellers for setting higher prices on Amazon.ca compared to recent prices on Amazon or elsewhere, may be an abuse of dominance. This could prevent price competition and restrict sellers from offering lower prices elsewhere. A court order requires Amazon to provide relevant records for the investigation, but no wrongdoing has been concluded yet.
