What is Bill C-59?
Bill C-59 is Canada’s Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023, that updated the Competition Act for the first time since 1986. It aims to strengthen competition law enforcement and increase accountability for environmental claims ensuring businesses make truthful, verifiable statements about their climate and environmental efforts.
What are the updates to Bill C-59?
As of June 20, 2025, the stakes are higher under Bill C-59: New anti-greenwashing rules require all environmental claims to be backed by recognized methods. Enforcement is now open to private parties as well as the Commissioner. Companies risk hefty penalties up to $10 million, triple any profits from false claims, or 3% of global revenue if profits can’t be determined. Substantiation is everything.
