Training Program

A multi-level marketing company supplying a training program sought a written opinion in August 2007 on whether a proposed multi-level marketing plan would raise concerns under the Competition Act.

The Competition Bureau denied the opinion in January 2008 on the basis that the product of the plan was “training”.

It has been the Bureau’s policy not to issue written opinions under section 55 and 55.1 of the Act in situations where the product of the plan is training because of the difficulty of establishing the value of the product.
