DETERMINATION

Construction services

Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) made a determination (File No. PR-2014-048) on May 21, 2015, with respect to a complaint filed by Pomerleau Inc. (Pomerleau), of Ottawa, Ontario, pursuant to subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. 47 (4th Supp.), concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. PWG299610) by Brookfield Johnson Controls Canada LP on behalf of the Department of Public Works and Government Services. The solicitation was for construction management services.

Pomerleau alleged that its bid was improperly found noncompliant because provisions of the solicitation were misinterpreted and/or misapplied, undisclosed criteria were used during the evaluation and unwarranted clarifications were sought.

Having examined the evidence presented by the parties, the Tribunal determined that the complaint was not valid.

Further information may be obtained from the Registrar, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, 333 Laurier Avenue West, 15th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, 613-993-3595 (telephone), 613-990-2439 (fax), citt-tcce@tribunal.gc.ca (email).

Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) made a determination (File No. PR-2014-061) on May 13, 2015, with respect to a complaint filed by Falcon Environmental Services Inc.

2. Subsection 4(4) of the Regulations defines “telemarketing regulatory costs” as follows:

The telemarketing regulatory costs of the Commission for a given fiscal year are the portion of the costs of the Commission's activities for that year, as set out in the Commission's Expenditure Plan published in Part III of the Estimates of the Government of Canada and, if applicable, the Supplementary Estimates of the Government of Canada, that are attributable to the Commission's responsibilities under section 41.2 of the Telecommunications Act and that are not recovered under any regulations made under section 68 of that Act.

3. Pursuant to subsection 5(1) of the Regulations, the Commission is required to publish each year a public notice with respect to the Commission's telemarketing regulatory costs.

4. The Commission hereby announces in this public notice that the estimated telemarketing regulatory costs for fiscal year 2015–16 total $3.3 million.

5. Pursuant to subsection 5(2) of the Regulations, the Commission is to publish, each year in a public notice, the total of all amounts paid under subsection 3(1) of the Regulations in the last completed fiscal year. In accordance with subsection 3(2) of the Regulations, the determination must be done no later than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year in order to determine the actual fees payable by those persons who subscribed to the National Do Not Call List and paid the Commission's component of the fees.

6. The Commission hereby announces in this public notice that the total of all amounts paid under subsection 3(1) of the Regulations in the last completed fiscal year (i.e. 2014–15) was $3,090,450. (see footnote 1) As the total amount paid in 2014–15 did not exceed the estimated regulatory costs that were noted in Unsolicited Telecommunications Fees Telemarketing regulatory costs for 2014–2015 and fees paid for 2013–2014, Compliance and Enforcement Order CRTC 2014-307, 9 June 2014, the Commission has determined in accordance with subsection 4(1) of the Regulations that the fees payable for that year are equal to the amounts paid by the persons referenced in paragraph 5 above.
