COMMENCEMENT OF INQUIRY
Copper rod
Notice was received by the Secretary of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) on November 28, 2006, from the Acting Director General of the Trade Programs Directorate at the Canada Border Services Agency, stating that a preliminary determination had been made respecting the dumping of copper rod with a diameter of at least 6 mm but not exceeding 11 mm, made to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) designation B 49 or equivalent (copper rod), originating in or exported from Brazil and the Russian Federation and the subsidizing of copper rod originating in or exported from Brazil.
Pursuant to section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Tribunal has initiated an inquiry (Inquiry No. NQ-2006-003) to determine whether the dumping and subsidizing of the above-mentioned goods have caused injury or retardation or are threatening to cause injury, and to determine such other matters as the Tribunal is required to determine under that section.
Under section 46 of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, a person who provides information to the Tribunal and who wishes some or all of the information to be kept confidential must submit to the Tribunal, at the time the information is provided, a statement designating the information as confidential, together with an explanation as to why that information is designated as confidential. Furthermore, the person must submit a non-confidential summary of the information designated as confidential or a statement indicating why such a summary cannot be made.
Public hearing
A public hearing relating to this inquiry will be held in the Tribunal Hearing Room, Standard Life Centre, 18th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario, commencing February 26, 2007, at 9:30 a.m.
Each person or government wishing to participate in the inquiry and at the hearing as a party must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before December 15, 2006. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in the inquiry and at the hearing must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Secretary on or before December 15, 2006.
To allow the Tribunal to determine whether simultaneous interpretation will be required for the hearing, each interested party and each counsel filing a notice of participation or representation must advise the Secretary, at the same time that they file the notice, whether they and their witnesses will be using French or English or both languages at the hearing.
In the event of an injury finding, a request for a public interest inquiry conducted pursuant to subsection 45(1) of SIMA may be made by any party to the injury inquiry or by any other group or person affected by the injury finding. Such a request must be filed with the Tribunal within 45 days of the injury finding. A public interest inquiry is completely separate from an injury inquiry. However, the Tribunal invites all persons who anticipate that they will have public interest concerns in the event of an injury finding to simply notify the Tribunal by December 15, 2006. The Tribunal is not seeking and does not expect submissions on public interest issues during the injury inquiry.
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules govern these proceedings.
In order to observe and understand production processes, the Tribunal, accompanied by its staff, may conduct plant visits.
Along with the notice of commencement of inquiry, the Secretary has sent a letter to the domestic producers, importers and foreign producers with a known interest in the inquiry providing details on the procedures, as well as the schedule for the inquiry. The letter specifies, among other things, the date for filing replies to Tribunal questionnaires, the date on which the information on record will be made available by the Tribunal to interested parties and counsel that have filed notices of participation or representation, and the dates for the filing of submissions by interested parties. Copies of all the questionnaires issued can be downloaded from the Tribunal's Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca/question/index_e.asp.
The Tribunal's Guide to Making Requests for Product Exclusions, which can be found on the Tribunal's Web site, describes the procedure for filing requests for specific product exclusions. The Guide includes a form for filing requests for product exclusions and a form for any party that opposes a request to respond to such requests. This does not preclude parties from making submissions in a different format if they so wish, provided that all of the information and supporting documentation requested in the forms are included. Requests to exclude goods from the finding shall be filed by interested parties no later than February 6, 2007. Parties opposed or consenting or not opposed to the request for exclusion shall file written reply submissions no later than February 15, 2007. Should the request for a specific product exclusion be opposed, and if the interested party wishes to reply, it must do so within a period determined by the Tribunal in advance of the hearing.
Written submissions, correspondence and requests for information regarding this notice should be addressed to the Secretary, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, Standard Life Centre, 15th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, 613-993-3595 (telephone), 613-990-2439 (fax), secretary@citt-tcce.gc.ca (email).
Parties and the public may file documents electronically with the Tribunal through its Secure E-filing Service. The service utilizes the Government of Canada's epass system, which allows the secure transmission of confidential business information. The information is fully encrypted from the sender to the Tribunal.
However, parties must still file paper copies when instructed to do so. Where a party is required to file hard copies, the electronic version and the hard-copy version must be identical. In case of discrepancies, the hard-copy version will be considered the original.
Written and oral communication with the Tribunal may be in English or in French.

DETERMINATION

Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) made a determination (File No. PR-2006-020) on November 28, 2006, with respect to a complaint filed by Canadian Beaver Information Technology Inc. (CBIT), of Ottawa, Ontario, under subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, R.S.C. 1985 (4th Supp.), c. 47, concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. 65544-06-0003) by Statistics Canada.

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to subrule 78(b) of the NAFTA Article 1904 Panel Rules, that the binational panel review of the Final Results of the Five-Year Reviews of the Countervailing Duty and Antidumping Duty Orders made by the United States International Trade Commission, respecting Magnesium from Canada, is completed (Secretariat File No. USA-CDA-2000-1904-09).
On October 6, 2006, the binational panel affirmed the investigating authority's second determination on remand, respecting Magnesium from Canada.
No Request for an Extraordinary Challenge Committee has been filed with the responsible Secretary. Therefore, pursuant to subrule 78(b) of the NAFTA Article 1904 Panel Rules, this Notice of Completion of Panel Review is effective on November 17, 2006, the 31st day following the date on which the responsible Secretary issued the Notice of Final Panel Action.
Explanatory note
Chapter 19 of the North American Free Trade Agreement establishes a procedure for replacing domestic judicial review of determinations in antidumping and countervailing duty cases involving imports from a NAFTA country with review by binational panels.
These panels are established, when a Request for Panel Review is received by the NAFTA Secretariat, to act in place of national courts to review final determinations expeditiously to determine whether they are in accordance with the antidumping or countervailing duty law of the country that made the determination.
Under Article 1904 of the North American Free Trade Agreement which came into force on January 1, 1994, the Government of Canada, the Government of the United States and the Government of Mexico established the Rules of Procedure for Article 1904 Binational Panel Reviews. These Rules were published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on January 1, 1994.
