In recent years, the debate around non-competition agreements, or non-competes, has intensified both in Canada and the United States.
Earlier this year, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) brought in a ban on non-competes — only to have it stopped in late August by a district court.
While the FTC has said it is considering an appeal, the activity south of the border has heightened the focus on these agreements — particularly after Ontario banned the practice three years ago.
