Testimonials

Kelly Mahoney

The day to day work in my branch varies. It can involve speaking with complainants, researching industries, interviewing market contacts or drafting documents for the use of formal powers. There are always opportunities for officers to learn something new or develop new skills. I love the fact that while my job utilizes the knowledge and skills I developed during law school and articling, I also have the opportunity to learn about and apply economic principles to the work I do. Learning is encouraged at the Bureau and for those that are interested, there are amazing opportunities for learning and development.

Finally, the strength of the Bureau lies with the people. I work with some fabulous people who not only challenge and teach me, but also make coming to work every day fun. Really, what more can you ask for?

At the Competition Bureau, economists play a key role in the development and application of competition policies. I began my career at the Bureau as a Competition Law Officer, working at the Mergers Branch reviewing merger requests from all sorts of companies in connexion with the Canadian economy. Every merger review is unique by its players, issues and specific products. It all starts with good documentation on the industry concerned: the key players, products and their geographic markets, consumption and production substitutes, the way prices are set, barriers to entry, concentration, etc. Every completed review is a measure of personal satisfaction and enhances my sense of belonging at the Bureau and at the Mergers Branch in particular.

I joined the Competition Bureau following graduation from law school. The Competition Bureau has not only allowed me to apply the skills acquired during my studies, but also to develop new ones. Everyday brings something different and challenging. The best part of working at the Competition Bureau is that you can see the results of the effort you put in. You develop a passion for the work very quickly and I wouldn't trade it for anything!
