Growing up John Krik's dad was a pitchman. You could see him slicing and dicing at the country fairs, PNE or home shows throughout Canada. That business grew from shows to television or products being sold on television and then mass distribution in major retail stores like Walmart. John has followed in his father’s footsteps. He’s developed several products that have gone from concept to millions in sales all based out of his home office in Surrey, BC. This is where he conceives the products, brings them to consumer shows, proves the salability, develops a pitch and from there brings it to mass distribution via direct response television.

The Competition Bureau is an independent law enforcement agency that protects and promotes competition for the benefit of Canadian consumers and businesses. Competition drives lower prices and innovation while fueling economic growth.
The Competition Bureau works to support and protect Canadians by fostering a competitive and innovative marketplace. They do this using various methods, including advocacy, outreach, consultations, partnerships, and enforcement.
In June 2022, the Government of Canada made changes to the Competition Act, including adding subsection 45(1.1) to the existing criminal conspiracy provisions. This new subsection protects competition in labour markets by prohibiting agreements between employers to fix wages and restrict job mobility. Like agreements between competitors related to price-fixing, market allocation and output restrictions, wage-fixing and no-poaching agreements undermine competition and the efficient allocation of resources. Maintaining and encouraging competition among employers results in higher wages and salaries, as well as better benefits and employment opportunities for employees.
Today we’re meeting with Majid Charania, Director of Compliance. The unit is responsible for promoting compliance with the Competition Act and today we’re going to discuss a new section of the law that prohibits wage fixing and no poaching agreements.
Wage fixing and no poaching guidance:

Le Bureau de la concurrence est un organisme d'application de la loi indépendant qui protège et favorise la concurrence au profit des consommateurs et des entreprises canadiennes. La concurrence entraîne une baisse des prix et l'innovation tout en alimentant la croissance économique.
Le Bureau de la concurrence s'emploie à soutenir et à protéger les Canadiens en favorisant un marché concurrentiel et innovateur. Pour ce faire, ils utilisent diverses méthodes, notamment le promotion, la sensibilisation, les consultations, les partenariats et l'application de la loi.
En juin 2022, le gouvernement du Canada a apporté des modifications à la Loi sur la concurrence, notamment en ajoutant le paragraphe 45(1.1) aux dispositions existantes sur les complots criminels. Ce nouveau paragraphe protège la concurrence sur les marchés du travail en interdisant les accords entre employeurs pour fixer les salaires et restreindre la mobilité professionnelle. À l'instar des accords entre concurrents concernant la fixation des prix, la répartition des marchés et les restrictions de production, les accords de fixation des salaires et de non-débauchage minent la concurrence et l'allocation efficace des ressources. Le maintien et l'encouragement de la concurrence entre les employeurs se traduisent par des salaires et traitements plus élevés, ainsi que par de meilleurs avantages sociaux et opportunités d'emploi pour les employés.
Aujourd'hui, nous rencontrons Majid Charania, directeur de la conformité. L'unité est chargée de promouvoir le respect de la Loi sur la concurrence et aujourd'hui, nous allons discuter d'une nouvelle disposition législative qui porte sur les accords de fixation des salaires et de non-débauchage.
Lignes directrices sur l’application de la loi concernant les accords de fixation des salaires et de non-débauchage:

Two Canadian entrepreneurs, Tyler Dyck, Co-Founder & COO, and Brandon Goode Co-Founder & CEO, have partnered with global leaders in the mental health space to solve a growing issue in Canada. Despite the increasing ubiquity of antidepressants, their use cases, treatment durations, and side effects are widely misunderstood. The drugs have undoubtedly helped many Canadians facing anxiety and depression (candidly, including myself), but a sharp rise in long-term use (treatment guidelines say they are only supposed to be used for six-to-nine months!) has led to a growing problem: people don’t know how to get off of them safely—and no one is talking about it.
When Tyler Dyck decided he wanted to discontinue his antidepressants after years of treatment, he was met with a lack of information and resources surrounding withdrawal and ended up yo-yo-ing, much to the detriment of his mental and physical health. He found a major gap in recommendations he was receiving from doctors, psychiatrists, and psychologists, and chatted about this with his former colleague Brandon Goode, whose background in the healthcare space had him investigating similar issues. They quickly realized that there was no existing solution to a major issue more and more of their loved ones were facing.
Together with world-leading scientists and healthcare professionals, they created Outro Health, the first patient-focused, science-based off-ramp for antidepressants, which just launched in Canada. Outro’s user-friendly platform provides science-based, personalized tapering plans to slowly reduce medication dosage. It also provides proactive symptom monitoring, one-on-one chats and video appointments with practitioners trained specifically in safely stopping antidepressants, and a patient-first approach that minimizes the risk of relapse and maximizes the chance of successful tapering.
