Ottawa banned Canada Bread Co Ltd. from bidding on government contracts for 10 years due to its price\u002Dfixing scheme. Find out more.
PSPC spokesperson Jeremy Link said the government is committed to taking action “against improper, unethical and illegal business practices and holding companies accountable for such misconduct.”

Maple Leaf Foods has said it was not aware of “any wrongdoing by Canada Bread or its senior leadership during the time that we were a shareholder.” Bureau spokesperson Sarah Brown said the agency isn’t involved in decisions about the government’s list of banned suppliers. But the bureau has previously advocated that anyone who gets immunity or leniency from the bureau shouldn’t be barred by the government.published late last year, the bureau said the threat of landing on the list could make it harder for a potential whistleblower to take a leniency or immunity deal.
