1. News Letter V2#1Legal Opinion On Water Export Controls And Canadian Internationa WATER EXPORT CONTROLS AND canadian international trade OBLIGATIONS. By.

WATER EXPORT CONTROLS AND CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE OBLIGATIONS By Steven Shrybman LLB (Member of the Ontario and BC Bar) Executive Director West Coast Environmental Law Association You have asked for our opinion with respect to several questions concerning the status of prospective water export control measures in light of Canadian obligations under the North American Free Trade Agreement and various agreements under the World Trade Organization. We are pleased to provide our response herewith. By way of introduction however, we should offer two important qualifications to our opinion. The first concerns the degree of confidence that is warranted in making predictions about the outcome of trade disputes and investor claims that may arise in this context. As you will know, many of the international trade, investment and services provisions of NAFTA and the World Trade Organization that might give rise to such disputes and claims are unprecedented and have yet to be the subject of any judicial or arbitral interpretation. Moreover, the water export control measures that have been adopted by some provinces, or which are now being considered by other Canadian governments, are also innovative and similarly untested. Accordingly, it is extremely difficult to anticipate the views of trade dispute panels or tribunals that may be called upon to address the novel issues that are certain to arise should a trade challenge or investor claim be made in consequence of Canadian water export control measures. We believe that it is regrettable that the federal government's response to this uncertainty is to offer bold and unqualified assertions about the viability of the approach it is advocating. In light of this assertiveness we think it fair to point out its recent and dismal track record in defending Canadian cultural, and research and development programs from trade challenges. As you will probably have noted, in spite of assurances very much like the ones it now offers concerning water export controls, Canada recently lost two important WTO cases concerning its cultural and R and D programs.

Legislation Finance Canada Seeks Views On The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) Textile Tariff Reference In 1994, the Minister of Finance established a standing textile tariff reference at the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (Tribunal) to conduct economic reviews of requests from Canadian downstream producers for tariff relief on imported textile manufacturing inputs and to make recommendations to him that would maximize the net economic benefits to Canada. (A copy of the current letter of reference from the Minister of Finance to the Chair of the Tribunal is attached as Appendix A Based on a review of the working of the textile tariff reference to date, and to ensure that it works in the overall interests of Canadian industry, it is considered that the terms of reference might benefit from certain clarifications to reinforce the original policy intent. A copy of a draft letter of reference showing how this might be achieved is attached as Appendix B . It would replace the existing letter of reference that guides the Tribunal’s analysis and recommendations on requests it receives for tariff relief on imported textile manufacturing inputs. The main clarifications contained in the draft letter include the following: A preamble establishes the overall tariff policy context of the textile tariff reference as one where tariff relief on manufacturing inputs is generally considered to enhance the competitiveness of Canadian downstream producers, taking into account the impact that such relief might have on domestic producers of competing goods;

Two Victories for Linux at The CITT (Canadian International Trade Tribunal) PLCom has won two rulings from the CITT (Canadian International Trade Tribunal) against two separate Canadian government procurement solicitations that attempted to mandate Microsoft-only Server software specifications in their Request for Proposals (RFPs). These CITT rulings secure the right for Canadian suppliers to bid Linux-based database applications in both instances. The Tribunal determinations have also established a precedent setting legal framework in Canadian administrative law that compels Canadian government agencies and departments to issue technical specifications based on recognized Open Standard Protocols rather than proprietary software brand names. Library of Parliament ( direct link to CITT decision On August 14, 2001 , the CITT released its reasons for its July 24th ruling that the Library of Parliament was guilty of discrimination and had breached Sections 501, 504 and 506 of a Canadian procurement law, the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT). PLCom had filed a formal complaint to the CITT on March 13,2001, arguing that the Library of Parliament was in breach of the AIT because, amongst other things, it had specified Microsoft NT Server as the only acceptable OS platform for an Intranet- based database application. The fact that the Library's RFP relied upon Microsoft brand names as a proxy for technical specifications, rather than using open standards-based criteria, led the Tribunal to issue its finding of discrimination.

A Victory for Linux at The Canadian International Trade Tribunal A Brief History of File No.: PR-2000-059 On December 29, 2000, The Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) published on Canada's Electronic Tendering Service (MERX) an Advanced Contract Award Notice (ACAN) for Solicitation No. 39014-010701/A, sole-sourcing the contract to Densan Consultants, Ltd. The procurement in question was for an electronic media monitoring system to be delivered to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). (PLCom) of Ottawa, Ontario, produces a web/intranet-based media-monitoring application called InfoLynx , and wished to be given an opportunity to compete for this contract. On January 15, 2001, PLCom submitted a challenge to the ACAN, asking that the procurement be opened up for competition. The CFIA responded by stating that InfoLynx did not meet the mandatory technical requirements because it ran on Linux and PHP, and not Windows NT and ASP. PLCom was exasperated at this response. First of all it was technically incorrect: InfoLynx does indeed run on Linux, but is built with C++ and mod_perl and contains no PHP code. More importantly the response was in serious breach of the trade regulations. PLCom felt that it had to seek legal action, or go out of business, as this was the third solicitation in the past 12 months that mandated Windows NT. complaint before the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT). The complaint contained the following passage:

Canadian International Trade and Finance in the Twentieth Century Author info Abstract Publisher info Download info ... Statistics Author Info Rooth, T. Abstract At the beginning of the twentieth century Canada's external trading and financial links were dominated by those with the UK and the USA. By the end of the century the British link had become tenuous while the USA has increased its dominance of Canadian imports and become the overwhelmingly most important destination for Canada's exports. In the provision of foreign finance the US became progressively more important until the 1970s, since when, with increasingly globalized international capital markets, Canada has diversified its sources. These trends are charted and the principal influences behind them discussed. Download Info To our knowledge, this item is not available for download .
