DETERMINATION

Textiles and apparel

Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) made a determination (File No. PR-2006-034) on March 6, 2007, with respect to a complaint filed by Paradise Company (Paradise), of Toronto, 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. W3380-07A017/A) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of the Department of National Defence. The solicitation was for the provision of women's and men's swimsuits.

Paradise alleged that PWGSC issued an amendment to the men's swimsuit specification too near to the bid receipt date to allow it to enclose a required sample and, as such, prevented bidders from submitting bids on time. Paradise also alleged that this improperly favoured bidders with local manufacturers and discriminated against bidders with overseas subcontractors.

Having examined the evidence presented by the parties and considered the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade, 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 OF ORDER

Hot-rolled carbon steel plate

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) hereby gives notice, pursuant to subsection 76.03(2) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), that 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, is scheduled to expire (Expiry No. LE-2006-003) on January 9, 2008. Under SIMA, findings of injury or threat of injury and the associated special protection in the form of anti-dumping or countervailing duties expire five years from the date of the last order or finding, unless an expiry review has been initiated before that date. An expiry review will not be initiated unless the Tribunal decides that there is sufficient information to indicate that it is warranted.

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).

Persons or governments requesting or opposing the initiation of an expiry review of the said order should file 20 copies of written public submissions containing relevant information, opinions and arguments, with the Secretary of the Tribunal not later than March 30, 2007. Persons or governments should endeavour to base their submissions exclusively on public information; however, confidential information relevant to the issues before the Tribunal may be filed, if necessary, along with a comprehensive public summary or edited version thereof.

Submissions should address all relevant factors, including

• the likelihood of continued or resumed dumping of the goods;
• the likely volume and price ranges of dumped imports if dumping were to continue or resume;
• the domestic industry's recent performance, including trends in production, sales, market share and profits;
• the likelihood of injury to the domestic industry if the order were allowed to expire, having regard to the anticipated effects of a continuation or resumption of dumped imports on the industry's future performance;
• any other developments affecting, or likely to affect, the performance of the domestic industry;
• changes in circumstances, domestically or internationally, including changes in the supply of or demand for the goods, and changes in trends in, and sources of, imports into Canada; and
• any other matter that is relevant.

Where there are opposing views, each person or government that filed a submission in response to the notice of expiry will be given an opportunity to respond in writing to the representations of other persons or governments. In these circumstances, the Tribunal will distribute copies of the public submissions to each person or government that filed a submission with the Tribunal. Persons or governments wishing to respond to the submissions must do so not later than April 10, 2007. If confidential submissions have been filed, the Secretary will notify persons or governments and instruct them on how they may access these submissions through qualified counsel. Qualified counsel who wish to have access to any confidential documents filed in these proceedings must file their notices of representation, declarations and undertakings, as well as the notices of participation signed by the parties that they represent.

The Tribunal will issue a decision on April 25, 2007, on whether an expiry review is warranted based on the submissions and representations received and the responses to them.

• If there is no request for a review, the Tribunal will not initiate a review and the order will expire on its expiry date.
• If the Tribunal decides that a review is not warranted, the order will expire on its expiry date. The Tribunal will issue its reasons not later than 15 days after its decision.
• If the Tribunal decides to initiate a review, it will issue a notice of expiry review.

The Tribunal's Draft Guideline on Expiry Reviews can be found on its Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca. In addition to providing more detailed information on the proceeding whereby the Tribunal determines if an expiry review is warranted, the draft guideline explains how an expiry review is conducted if the Tribunal determines that one is warranted. In an expiry review, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) first determines whether the expiry of the order or finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping or subsidizing of the goods. If the CBSA determines that the expiry of the order or finding in respect of any goods is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping or subsidizing, the Tribunal will then conduct an inquiry to determine if the continued or resumed dumping or subsidizing is likely to result in injury or retardation. The Tribunal's notice of expiry review will provide more information on the expiry review process.

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 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 Tribunal may be in English or in French.
