University of Ottawa associate law professor Jennifer Quaid said a conviction for price-fixing has to come with an intentional, explicit agreement to hold prices at a specific point. When it comes to the gas industry, the price at the pump is more likely to come from a retailer’s understanding of the industry and commonly-known information on costs, she said.
