The Competition Bureau is urging retailers and landlords to drop or change competitor property controls that are not justified even if they do not raise issues under the Competition Act.

In new guidance released Wednesday, the watchdog encouraged companies to only use property controls, which can make it more difficult for firms to enter new markets or expand, where they increase competition.
