The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) has received a complaint (File No. PR-2012-008) from Clearpath Robotics Inc. (Clearpath), of Kitchener, Ontario, concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. W7707-125520/A) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of Defence Research and Development Canada (an agency of the Department of National Defence).
