Matthew Boswell is something of a rock star among the pro-competition set. While he started out as a criminal prosecutor before turning his attention to white-collar crime, for the past seven years he’s made waves as the head of Canada’s Competition Bureau.

He’s had successes: helping to convince the federal government to update competition laws and to boost the Bureau’s funding, plus cases, investigations and studies on everything from Google to DoorDash. He’s also had failures, most notably the Bureau’s ultimately doomed challenge of Rogers’ takeover of Shaw. But along the way, he has amassed fans for being perhaps the most active and vocal Competition Commissioner Canada has seen.

Boswell’s term is coming to an end in February. He joins Do Not Pass Go to discuss the Bureau’s highs and lows throughout his tenure, how he feels about the cases his department takes on (and doesn’t take on), and what’s next for him.
