Spurred by a complaint from Greenpeace Canada in March, the Competition Bureau said in a statement to Greenpeace that it will seek to “determine the facts relating to allegations that the Pathways Alliance has contravened theFormed in 2021, Pathways Alliance includes major companies such as Canadian Natural Resources Limited, Cenovus Energy, ConocoPhillips Canada, Imperial, Meg Energy and Suncor Energy.
