The current revisions to the Combines Act stem from a study by the Economic Council of Canada begun in 1966, and represent an evolution from an earlier competition bill C-256, introduced in June of 1971 and withdrawn a year later for revision, The economic background to the revision is described in Economic Council of Canada, Interim Report on Competition Policy (Ottawa: Queen's printer, July 1969). A detailed description of Bill C-256 and of the history of Canadian competitive policy is found in Thompson Donald N. , “Competition Policy and Marketing Regulation,” in Thompson Donald N. Leighton David S. R. , Canadian Marketing: Problems and Prospects (Toronto: Wiley Publishers, 1973), pp. 13–43.
