Subject to Article 404 (Legitimate Objectives), with respect to
measures covered by this Chapter, each Party shall accord to:

the goods and services of any other Party, including those
goods and services included in construction contracts,
treatment no less favourable than the best treatment it
accords to its own such goods and services; and

contracts, treatment no less favourable than the best
treatment it accords to its own suppliers of such goods and

subject to Article 404 (Legitimate Objectives), it shall not
discriminate:
-
between the goods or services of a particular Province or
region, including those goods and services included in
construction contracts, and those of any other Province or
region; or
-
between the suppliers of such goods or services of a

or region.
-
Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter, measures that are
inconsistent with paragraphs 1 and 2 include, but are not limited

registration requirements or qualification procedures that
are based on the location of a supplier's place of
business or the place where the goods are produced or the
services are provided or other like criteria;
-
the biasing of technical specifications in favour of, or
against, particular goods or services, including those goods
or services included in construction contracts, or in favour
of, or against, the suppliers of such goods or services for
the purpose of avoiding the obligations of this Chapter;
-
the timing of events in the tender process so as to prevent
suppliers from submitting bids;

budgetary funds to subsidiary agencies in a manner designed
to avoid the obligations of this Chapter;

the use of price discounts or preferential margins in order
to favour particular suppliers; and

the unjustifiable exclusion of a supplier from tendering.
-
No Party shall impose or consider, in the evaluation of bids or the
award of contracts, local content or other economic benefits
criteria that are designed to favour:
-
the goods and services of a particular Province or region,
including those goods and services included in construction
contracts; or
-
the suppliers of a particular Province or region of such
goods or services.
-
Except as otherwise required to comply with international

the preference for Canadian value-added must be no greater
than 10 per cent;
-
the Party shall specify in the call for tenders the level of
preference to be used in the evaluation of the bid; and

tenders of the existence of the preference and the rules
applicable to determine the Canadian value added.

Except as otherwise required to comply with international
obligations, a Party may limit its tendering to Canadian goods or
suppliers, subject to the following conditions:

tenders of the existence of the preference and the rules
applicable to determine Canadian content; and

the requirement for Canadian content must be no greater than
necessary to qualify the procured good as a Canadian good.

to submit a bid, taking into account the time needed to disseminate
the information and the complexity of the procurement.
-
In evaluating tenders, a Party may take into account not only the
submitted price but also quality, quantity, delivery, servicing,
the capacity of the supplier to meet the requirements of the
procurement and any other criteria directly related to the
procurement that are consistent with Article 504. The tender
documents shall clearly identify the requirements of the
procurement, the criteria that will be used in the evaluation of
bids and the methods of weighting and evaluating the criteria.

qualified prior to the close of call for tenders. However, the
qualification process must itself be consistent with Article 504.
An invitation to qualify shall be published at least annually by a
method referred to in paragraph 2(a) or (b) or shall be distributed
to suppliers listed on a source list referred to in paragraph 2(c).
-
An entity may limit a contract award to goods, services or
suppliers that have been assessed (for example, certified,

nationally-recognized and industry-supported organization such as
the Standards Council of Canada.
-
If a procurement exempted from the obligations of this Chapter
under paragraph 11 or 12 or Article 507 or 508 is publicly tendered
in a daily newspaper or on an electronic tendering system, the
tender notice shall indicate the restrictions and highlight the
practices that do not conform with this Article or Article 504.
-
An entity that uses a source list shall:

on a specific tender.
-
An entity of a Party may use procurement procedures that are
different from those described in paragraphs 1 through 10 in the
following circumstances, provided that it does not do so for the
purpose of avoiding competition between suppliers or in order to
discriminate against suppliers of any other Party:
-
where an unforeseeable situation of urgency exists and the
goods, services or construction cannot be obtained in time by
means of open procurement procedures;
-
where goods or consulting services regarding matters of a
confidential or privileged nature are to be purchased and the
disclosure of those matters through an open tendering process
could reasonably be expected to compromise government
confidentiality, cause economic disruption or otherwise be
contrary to the public interest;
-
where a contract is to be awarded under a cooperation
agreement that is financed, in whole or in part, by an
international cooperation organization, only to the extent
that the agreement between the Party and the organization
includes rules for awarding contracts that differ from the
obligations set out in this Chapter;
-
where construction materials are to be purchased and it can
be demonstrated that transportation costs and technical
considerations impose geographic limits on the available
supply base, specifically in the case of sand, stone, gravel,
asphalt, compound and pre-mixed concrete for use in the
construction or repair of roads;
-
where compliance with the open tendering provisions set out
in this Chapter would interfere with a Party's ability to
maintain security or order or to protect human, animal or
plant life or health; and
-
in the absence of a receipt of any bids in response to a call
for tenders made in accordance with the procedures set out in
this Chapter.
-
Where only one supplier is able to meet the requirements of a
procurement, an entity may use procurement procedures that are
different from those described in paragraphs 1 through 10 in the
following circumstances:
-
to ensure compatibility with existing products, to recognize
exclusive rights, such as exclusive licences, copyright and
patent rights, or to maintain specialized products that must
be maintained by the manufacturer or its representative;
-
where there is an absence of competition for technical
reasons and the goods or services can be supplied only by a
particular supplier and no alternative or substitute exists;
-
or the procurement of goods or services the supply of which
is controlled by a supplier that is a statutory monopoly;
-
he purchase of goods on a commodity market;
-
or work to be performed on or about a leased building or
portions thereof that may be performed only by the lessor;

Exceptional Circumstances
-
A Party may, under exceptional circumstances, exclude a procurement
from the application of this Chapter for regional and economic
development purposes, provided that:
-
the exclusion of the procurement does not operate to impair
unduly the access of persons, goods, services or investments
of another Party;

the exclusion of the procurement is not more trade
restrictive than necessary to achieve its specific objective;

notice of all such excluded procurements is provided by one
or more of the methods specified in Article 506(2) and the
notice provides details of the exceptional circumstances; and
-
the Party seeks to minimize the discriminatory effects of the
exclusion on suppliers of the other Parties.
-
In the case of a dispute relating to a procurement excluded from
the application of this Chapter under paragraph 1, factors such as
the following are to be taken into account in the dispute
resolution process:
-
the frequency of the use by the Party of such exclusions for
its procurements;
-
the extent to which the use by the Party of the exclusion for
the particular procurement may contribute to economic
development objectives or to the reduction of economic
disparities;
-
whether the use of the exclusion for the particular
procurement was applied in a manner to minimize the
discrimination among bidders; and
-
the extent to which the use by the Party of the exclusion
affects the development of competitive Canadian companies.

-
A Party may continue the transitional procurement policies and
programs listed in Column I of Annex 508.3 until January 1, 1996.

A Party may continue the non-conforming procurement policies and
programs listed in Column II of Annex 508.3, provided that the
Party:
-
prepares an annual written report on such policies and
programs; and
-
conducts a review of such policies and programs, no later
than January 1, 1998, to ensure that they meet their regional
and economic objectives.

Where, in respect of a specific procurement, a supplier has had
recourse to the dispute settlement procedures under another
procurement agreement, it may not utilize the bid protest
procedures of this Chapter for that specific procurement.
-
The supplier shall communicate its concerns or complaints in
writing to the procuring Party with a view to resolving them.

Where a supplier has exhausted all reasonable means of recourse
with respect to a complaint with the procuring Party, it may make a
written request to the contact point in the Province where the
supplier is located to seek resolution of the complaint.
-
Where the contact point determines that the complaint is
reasonable, it shall, on behalf of the supplier, within 20 days
after the date of delivery of the request, approach the contact
point of the procuring Party and make representations on the
supplier's behalf. Where the contact point determines that the
complaint is unreasonable, it shall provide a written notice to the
supplier within 20 days after the date of delivery of the request
setting out reasons for the decision. Failure to provide such
notice is deemed to be notice for the purposes of Article
1712(2)(a) (Initiation of Proceedings by Persons).
-
Where the matter has not been resolved under paragraph 5 within 20
days after the date of delivery of the supplier's request, the
Party in whose territory the supplier is located may make a written
request for consideration of the complaint by a review panel. The
request shall be delivered to the procuring Party and to the
Secretariat. Where the Party in whose territory the supplier is
located determines the complaint to be unreasonable, it shall
provide written notice to the person within 20 days after the date
of delivery of the supplier's request. Failure to provide such
notice is deemed to be notice for the purposes of Article
1712(2)(b) (Initiation of Proceedings by Persons).

review panels, and deliver notice of the roster to the other
Parties;
-
the contact points of the two Parties shall, within five days
after the date of delivery of the request by the Secretariat,
appoint panellists from the rosters. A panel shall usually
consist of a maximum of three members, one selected from each
of the rosters of the Parties involved, and a chairperson,
also competent and impartial, to be ratified by panel
members;
-
Parties may agree to choose a chairperson who is mutually
acceptable and who is not listed on their rosters;
-
notwithstanding paragraphs (b) and (c), any other composition
of a panel acceptable to both Parties is permissible;
-
the panel shall begin consideration of a complaint within
five business days after its formation;
-
the panel should complete its work within 20 business days
after its formation. On formal request, an extension owing to
extraordinary circumstances may be granted with notice to all
Parties;
-
the panel shall establish procedures and guidelines
appropriate to each case. The contact points of both Parties
shall provide secretarial and research support to the panel
and maintain necessary records;
-
the panel may investigate the challenge to determine whether
there is an inconsistency with this Chapter. Where necessary,
the panel is entitled to receive a copy of pertinent tender

require to assist in its determination. The panel shall keep
confidential all information obtained by it in accordance
with Article 510;

the panel may make written recommendations to the procuring
Party and, where appropriate, to the Party in whose territory
the supplier is located, concerning practices related to the
procurement in question that the panel considers to be
inconsistent with this Chapter;
-
the panel shall deliver its report to both Parties. Both
Parties shall consult with each other and the supplier with
the object of reaching a mutually acceptable accommodation
based on the report; and

The contact points shall, within 10 business days after the date of
delivery of the report, append to the report a description of the
accommodation or, if an agreement on accommodation has not been
reached, the different positions of both Parties. The report is
complete and final at this stage.
-
Where a Party considers, as a result of a panel's report and
subsequent consultations, or another series of similar unresolved
complaints, that the other Party is not complying with the terms of
this Chapter, the Party may have recourse to Article 1709
(Non-Implementation - Publicity) or 1710 (Non-Implementation -
Retaliatory Action).

This Article applies to complaints regarding procurement by the
Federal Government.
-
In order to promote fair, open and impartial procurement
procedures, the Federal Government shall adopt and maintain bid
protest procedures for procurement covered by this Chapter that:
-
allow suppliers to submit bid protests concerning any aspect
of the procurement process, which for the purposes of this
Article begins after an entity has decided on its procurement
requirement and continues through to the awarding of the
contract;
-
encourage suppliers to seek a resolution of any complaint
with the entity concerned prior to initiating a bid protest;
-
ensure that its entities accord fair and timely consideration
to any complaint regarding procurement covered by this
Chapter;

limit the period within which a supplier may initiate a bid
protest, provided that the period is at least 10 business
days from the time when the basis of the complaint became
known or reasonably should have become known to the supplier;
-
permit a supplier that does not achieve a successful
resolution of its complaint to bring the matter to the
attention of an authority, with no substantial interest in
the outcome, to receive and consider the complaint and make
appropriate findings and recommendations with respect to the
complaint;
-
require the reviewing authority to provide its findings and
recommendations in writing and in a timely manner and make
them available to the Parties; and
-
require the reviewing authority to specify its bid protest
procedures in writing and make them generally available.
-
The reviewing authority may:
-
recommend, where appropriate, a delay in awarding a proposed
contract pending the resolution of the bid protest;
-
issue a recommendation to resolve the bid protest, which may
include directing the entity to re-evaluate offers or
terminate or re-compete the contract in question;
-
recommend, where appropriate, the award of compensation for
lost profit or the costs associated with filing the complaint
and preparing the bid; and
-
make, where appropriate, written recommendations to the
entity concerning practices that the reviewing authority
considers to be inconsistent with this Chapter.

Subject to Articles 1810(5), (6) and (7) (Future Negotiations), the
Parties shall enter into negotiations, to be concluded no later
than June 30, 1996, with a view to reducing, modifying or amending
the list of entities set out in Annex 502.2A in order to achieve
reciprocity by, in particular, listing such entities in either
Annex 502.1A or 502.2B.
-
If, as a result of negotiations under paragraph 2, a Party
maintains a list of entities in Annex 502.2A, that Party may only
direct the procurement of those entities in accordance with the

apply specific threshold levels to suppliers of that Party,
provided that such threshold levels have economic effects
equivalent to those that would have been taken in regard to
the comparable entities referred to in paragraph (a).

All services are covered except the following:
-
services that in the Province issuing the tender may, by
legislation or regulation, be provided only by any of the
following licensed professionals : medical doctors, dentists,
nurses, pharmacists, veterinarians, engineers, land
surveyors, architects, chartered accountants, lawyers and
notaries;
-
transportation services provided by locally-owned trucks for
hauling aggregate on highway construction projects;
-
services for sporting events procured by organizations whose
main purpose is to organize such events;
-
services of financial analysts or the management of
investments by organizations who have such functions as a
primary purpose;
-
financial services respecting the management of government
financial assets and liabilities (i.e. treasury operations),
including ancillary advisory and information services,
whether or not delivered by a financial institution;
-
health services and social services; and
-
advertising and public relation services.
-
The foregoing is an illustrative list. The Parties shall, before
the date of entry into force of this Agreement, review the list and
reduce it in accordance with the principle of open government
procurement.
Annex 502.1B
Interpretive Note
(Services Covered by Chapter 5)
-
Annex 502.1B provides a list of services excluded from the coverage
of Chapter 5 (Procurement). The Parties recognize that there may be
difficulties in distinguishing between contracts for
service which may be the subject of procurement by a Party and
contracts of service which may be categorized as
employer-employee relationships and which are not intended by the
Parties to be subject to the procurement obligations found in
Chapter 5. To reduce any difficulties in making such a distinction,
to aid in the application of the obligations in Chapter 5 and to
clearly state their original intent, the Parties issue this
interpretive note.
-
Contracts of service are not the procurement of services within the
meaning of Chapter 5. Contracts of service is a term which is not
to be construed narrowly but rather refers to an employer-employee
relationship between a Party and one or more individuals.
-
The Parties recognize that the existence of an employer-employee
relationship may be determined according to various tests. For the
purposes of determining whether a contract is subject to the
procurement obligations of Chapter 5 (or an employer-employee
relationship which is not subject to the chapter), the Parties are
of the view that consideration should be given to the various
elements which constitute the relationship between a Party and an
individual or individuals, including the nature of the work and the
circumstances in which it is performed.
-
In making a determination as to whether there is an
employer-employee relationship between a Party and an individual or
individuals, the Parties also believe that consideration should be
given, among other factors, to whether:
-
the Party reserves the right of direction and control over
the individual or individuals:
-
the Party is responsible for remuneration;
-
the Party hires and has the power to dismiss the individual
or individuals;
-
the Party is believed to be the employer by the employee or
employees;
-
there exists an intention to create an employer-employee
relationship, or
-
there is a chance of profit or risk of loss for the
individual or individuals.
