une transaction "entre parties sans lien de dépendance"
Explanation:
the key point is that parties involved in the transaction are truly independent - not related.

How much there is a real "competition" in the relevant market is beside the point - an "arm's length transaction" between a huge (quasi-)monopoly and as small-time buyer/seller has nothing in it to qualify it as "normal competition" / "normal market".

Les activités d’assurance prêt hypothécaire génèrent la quasi-totalité du résultat net de la Société. (...) [la juste valeur] correspond au montant de la contrepartie qui serait convenue lors d’une transaction réalisée entre deux parties bien informées et consentantes agissant en toute liberté dans des conditions de concurrence normale.

disagree  Daryo: Only "entre parties sans lien de dépendance" - in any case // even when a transaction is definitely and for sure "at arm's length" it doesn't say NOTHING about "normal" competition / "normal" market condition - one party might well be a total monopoly!

neutral  Germaine: As mentioned in my answer, this is the CDN fiscal expression. // Again, please check out what you think you know, namely the meaning of "concurrence normale" in economics and in French.

  -> You can't change the basics of economics - the true "independence" of parties in a business transaction says NOTHING about a market being truly "competitive" / functioning as a what would be considered as a "normal" market. Not related.
disagree  François Tardif: Ce n'est pas un contexte sur la fiscalité ici, sans quoi, vous auriez raison.

  -> as it happens transactions done "at arm’s length" are still exactly the same, no matter from whichever vantage point you're looking at them, as the key point/defining characteristic is still THE SAME.
