DETERMINATION
Communications, detection and fibre optics
Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) made a determination (File No. PR-2015-070) on August 10, 2016, with respect to a complaint filed by M.D. Charlton Co. Ltd. (M.D. Charlton), of Victoria, British Columbia, pursuant to subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. 47 (4th Supp.), concerning a procurement by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The solicitation was for night vision binoculars.
M.D. Charlton alleged that the national security exception was improperly invoked to remove the procurement process from the disciplines of the trade agreements. M.D. Charlton also alleged that the solicitation requirements favoured a specific supplier.
Having examined the evidence presented by the parties and considered the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade, the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Agreement on Government Procurement, the Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement, the Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement, the Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement, the Canada-Panama Free Trade Agreement and the Canada-Honduras Free Trade Agreement, the Tribunal determined that the complaint was valid.
Further information may be obtained from the Registrar, Canadian International Trade Tribunal Secretariat, 333 Laurier Avenue West, 15th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, 613-993-3595 (telephone), 613-990-2439 (fax), citt-tcce@tribunal.gc.ca (email).
