加拿大竞争局以隐藏费用罚款Cineplex 3 890万美元,加强了打击欺骗性定价的努力。 Canada’s Competition Bureau fined Cineplex $38.9 million for hidden fees, reinforcing efforts to combat deceptive pricing.

2026年1月上任的代理竞争专员Jeanne Pratt表示, 加拿大竞争局必须加紧执法, 打击在持续通货膨胀和经济压力下滴滴定价等欺骗性定价。 Acting Competition Commissioner Jeanne Pratt, who took over in January 2026, says Canada’s Competition Bureau must intensify enforcement to combat deceptive pricing like drip pricing amid ongoing inflation and economic pressures. 该局最近以隐性在线预订费为由,对Cinelex判处了3 890万美元的罚款。 竞争法庭和上诉法院均维持了这一决定。 The bureau recently secured a $38.9 million penalty against Cineplex for hidden online booking fees, a decision upheld by both the Competition Tribunal and appeal court. 虽然Cineplex可能寻求最高法院审查,但这项裁决加强了该局根据更新的《竞争法》条款的权力。 Though Cineplex may seek Supreme Court review, the ruling strengthens the bureau’s authority under updated Competition Act provisions. Pratt强调需要透明定价以保护消费者和确保公平竞争,特别是当购物习惯在网上改变时。 Pratt stressed the need for transparent pricing to protect consumers and ensure fair competition, especially as shopping habits shift online.
