Au Canada, la Loi sur la concurrence protège également les consommateurs canadiens contre les pratiques commerciales trompeuses. Comme l’édicte cette loi, une pratique trompeuse peut être une situation où le commerçant attribue faussement un avantage particulier à un bien, ou déclare faussement qu’un bien répond à une norme déterminée ou finalement, prétend faussement qu’un bien est recommandé ou approuvé par un tiers alors qu’il n’en est rien. Les pratiques commerciales trompeuses sont susceptibles d’examen de la part du Bureau de la concurrence. 2, record 1, French, - pratique%20trompeuse
