In the Sogides/Quebecor case, for example, Quebecor Media Inc. acquired the French-language publishing business of Sogides Ltée. The Bureau did not have any concerns with the acquisition itself. However, its investigation disclosed that Sogides' president - Pierre Lespérance - had an interest in a bookstore chain that competed with a Quebecor-owned chain. He also was a director of this competing chain. The Bureau raised concerns that there could be improper exchanges of information between Quebecor and the competing bookstore chain through Mr. Lespérance. Accordingly, the parties agreed that Lespérance would resign from his position on the competitor's board of directors and that an independent agent would take up his position instead.
