DETERMINATION

Quality control, testing, inspection and technical representative services

Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) made a determination (File No. PR-2006-035) on April 20, 2007, with respect to a complaint filed by Zenix Engineering Ltd. (Zenix), 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. IE070336) by Defence Construction Canada (DCC) on behalf of the Department of National Defence. The solicitation was for the provision of a modular quarters life-safety assessment and remediation analysis.

Zenix alleged that contract negotiations with DCC did not occur as stipulated in the Request for Abbreviated Proposal and that, as such, the evaluation of its proposal was not performed in accordance with the criteria stipulated in the procurement document, which resulted in an unfair process.

Having examined the evidence presented by the parties and considered the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade and the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Tribunal determined that the complaint was valid.

Further information may be obtained from 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).

CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

EXPIRY REVIEW OF ORDER

Hot-rolled carbon steel plate

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) hereby gives notice that it will, pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiate an expiry review (Expiry Review No. RR-2007-001) of its order made on January 10, 2003, in Expiry Review No. RR-2001-006, continuing, with amendment, its findings made on October 27, 1997, in Inquiry No. NQ-97-001, concerning hot-rolled carbon steel plate originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China, the Republic of South Africa and the Russian Federation.

The subject goods are defined as hot-rolled carbon steel plate and high-strength low-alloy plate not further manufactured than hot-rolled, heat-treated or not, in cut lengths, in widths from 24 in. (+/- 610 mm) to 152 in. (+/- 3 860 mm) inclusive, and thicknesses from 0.187 in. (+/- 4.75 mm) to 4.0 in. (+/- 101.6 mm) inclusive, but excluding plate for use in the manufacture of pipe and tube (also known as skelp), plate in coil form, plate having a rolled, raised figure at regular intervals on the surface (also known as floor plate), and plate produced to American Society for Testing and Materials specifications A515 and A516M/A516, grade 70 (also known as pressure vessel quality plate) in thicknesses greater than 3.125 in. (+/- 79.3 mm).

Notice of Expiry No. LE-2006-003, issued on March 6, 2007, informed interested persons and governments of the impending expiry of the order. On the basis of available information, including representations requesting or opposing the initiation of an expiry review and responses to these representations received by the Tribunal in reply to the notice, the Tribunal is of the opinion that a review of the order is warranted. The Tribunal has notified the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), as well as other interested persons and governments, of its decision.

The Tribunal has issued a Draft Guideline on Expiry Reviews that can be found on the Tribunal's Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca. In this expiry review, the CBSA must determine whether the expiry of the order in respect of hot-rolled carbon steel plate is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the goods.

If the CBSA determines that the expiry of the order in respect of any goods is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping, the CBSA will provide the Tribunal with the information that is required under the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules. The Tribunal will then conduct an inquiry to determine if the continued or resumed dumping is likely to result in injury or retardation.

If the CBSA determines that the expiry of the order in respect of any goods is unlikely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping, the Tribunal will not consider those goods in its subsequent determination of the likelihood of injury or retardation and will issue an order rescinding the order with respect to those goods.

The CBSA must provide notice of its determination within 120 days after receiving notice of the Tribunal's decision to initiate an expiry review, that is, no later than August 23, 2007. The CBSA will also notify all persons or governments that were notified by the Tribunal of the commencement of an expiry review, as well as any others that participated in the CBSA's investigation.

Letters have been sent to parties with a known interest in the expiry review providing them with the schedule respecting both the CBSA's investigation and the Tribunal's inquiry, should the CBSA determine that the expiry of the order in respect of any goods is likely to result in a continuation or resumption of dumping.

The CBSA's investigation

The CBSA will conduct its investigation pursuant to the provisions of SIMA and the administrative guidelines set forth in the Trade Programs Directorate's publication entitled Guidelines on the Conduct of Expiry Review Investigations under the Special Import Measures Act. Any information submitted to the CBSA by interested persons concerning this investigation is deemed to be public information unless clearly designated as confidential. Where the submission is confidential, a non-confidential edited version or summary of the submission must also be provided which will be disclosed to interested parties upon request.

With respect to the CBSA's investigation, the schedule specifies, among other things, the date for the filing of replies to the expiry review questionnaires, the date on which the CBSA exhibits will be available to parties to the proceeding, the date on which the administrative record will be closed and the dates for the filing of submissions by parties in the proceeding. The expiry review questionnaires for exporters, importers and domestic producers are posted on CBSA's Web site at www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima/expiry-eng.html.

Tribunal's inquiry

Should the CBSA determine that the expiry of the order in respect of any goods is likely to result in a continuation or resumption of dumping, the Tribunal will conduct its inquiry, pursuant to the provisions of SIMA and its Draft Guideline on Expiry Reviews, to determine if there is a likelihood of injury or retardation. The schedule for the Tribunal's inquiry specifies, among other things, the date for the filing of replies by the domestic producers to Part E of the expiry review questionnaire, the date for the filing of updated information from domestic producers, importers and exporters to the expiry review questionnaire replies, the date on which information on the record will be made available by the Tribunal to interested parties and counsel that have filed notices of participation and the dates for the filing of submissions by interested parties.

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 order shall be filed by interested parties no later than October 19, 2007. Parties opposed or consenting or not opposed to the request for exclusion shall file written reply submissions no later than October 31, 2007. Should the request for a specific product exclusion be opposed, and if the interested party wishes to reply, it must do so no later than November 7, 2007.

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 the information is designated as confidential. Furthermore, the person must submit a non-confidential edited version or non-confidential summary of the information designated as confidential or a statement indicating why such an edited version or summary cannot be made.

Public hearing

The Tribunal will hold a public hearing relating to this expiry review in the Tribunal Hearing Room, 18th Floor, Standard Life Centre, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario, commencing on November 13, 2007, at 9:30 a.m., to hear evidence and representations by interested parties.

Each interested person or government wishing to participate at the hearing as a party must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before September 4, 2007. Each counsel who intends to represent a party at the hearing must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Secretary on or before September 4, 2007.

To allow the Tribunal to determine whether simultaneous interpretation will be required for the hearing, each interested person or government filing a notice of participation and each counsel filing a notice of representation must advise the Secretary, at the same time that they file the notice, whether they and their witnesses will be using English or French or both languages at the hearing.

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.

Communication

Written submissions, correspondence and requests for information regarding the CBSA's investigation should be addressed to Mr. Matthew Lerette, Trade Programs Directorate, Canada Border Services Agency, Urbandale Building, 11th Floor, 100 Metcalfe Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0L8, 613-954-7398 (telephone), 613-948-4844 (fax), Matthew.Lerette@cbsa-asfc.gc.ca (email).

A copy of the CBSA's investigation schedule and of the expiry review investigation guidelines are available on the CBSA's Web site at www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima/expiry-eng.html.

Written submissions, correspondence and requests for information regarding the Tribunal's inquiry 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 in the required number as instructed. 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 CBSA and the Tribunal may be in English or in French.

EDP hardware and software

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) has received a complaint (File No. PR-2007-009) from Information Builders (Canada) Inc. (IBI), of Toronto, Ontario, concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. A0416-065014/A) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development.

Interested parties were advised of the Tribunal's decision on April 25, 2007.

Educational and training services

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) has received a complaint (File No. PR-2007-007) from Valcom Consulting Group Inc. (Valcom), of Ottawa, Ontario, concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. W0114-060900/A) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of the Department of National Defence (DND). The solicitation is for the provision of driver wheeled training to military personnel. Pursuant to subsection 30.13(2) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act and subsection 7(2) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Procurement Inquiry Regulations, notice is hereby given that the Tribunal has decided to conduct an inquiry into the complaint. Interested parties were advised of the Tribunal's decision on April 25, 2007.

Valcom alleges that the procurement process was compromised by conflicts of interest involving both PWGSC and DND by engaging contractors associated with the winning bidder. Valcom also alleges that, as a result of the Crown's failure to properly secure confidential company information (including highly sensitive pricing data) on a present contract, Valcom's ability to compete fairly was compromised and an advantage was provided to the winning bidder.

Further information may be obtained from 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).
