OTTAWA -- Canada's antitrust watchdog said it has launched a
civil investigation into Amazon.com Inc.'s conduct in the domestic
marketplace and whether it is impacting consumers and companies
operating in the country.
Canada's Competition Bureau said Friday its probe is under way
and "there is no conclusion of wrongdoing at this time." In
revealing the investigation, it also welcomed input from market
participants regarding its civil investigation.
A representative from Amazon did not immediately respond to a
request for comment.
Amazon's conduct faces antitrust scrutiny in the U.S. and
European Union. The state of California is also conducting its own
review of Amazon's business practices.
