The Competition Bureau says Kalibrate also holds an extensive historical database on the Canadian retail gas and diesel market.

The bureau says it has obtained a court order to look into Kalibrate’s data, pricing and consultation services and to see how the company provides pricing guidance to gas station operators.

The bureau says there is no conclusion of wrongdoing at this time.
