CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

COMMENCEMENT OF PRELIMINARY INJURY INQUIRY

Hot-rolled carbon steel plate and high-strength low-alloy steel plate

Notice was received by the Secretary of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) on July 6, 2009, from the Director General of the Trade Programs Directorate at the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) stating that the President of the CBSA had initiated an investigation into a complaint respecting the alleged injurious dumping of hot-rolled carbon steel plate and high-strength low-alloy steel plate not further manufactured than hot-rolled, heat-treated or not, in cut lengths in widths from 24 inches (610 mm) to 152 inches (3 860 mm) inclusive and in thicknesses from 0.187 inch (4.75 mm) up to and including 3.0 inches (76.0 mm) inclusive (with all dimensions being plus or minus allowable tolerances contained in the applicable standards, e.g. ASTM standards A6/A6M and A20/A20M), originating in or exported from Ukraine, excluding universal mill plate, plate for use in the manufacture of pipe and plate having a rolled, raised figure at regular intervals on the surface (also known as floor plate).

Pursuant to subsection 34(2) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Tribunal has initiated a preliminary injury inquiry (Preliminary Injury Inquiry No. PI-2009-002) to determine whether the evidence discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping of the subject goods has caused injury or retardation or is threatening to cause injury, as these words are defined in SIMA.

The Tribunal’s preliminary injury inquiry will be conducted by way of written submissions. Each person or government wishing to participate in the preliminary injury inquiry must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before July 20, 2009. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in the preliminary injury inquiry must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Secretary on or before July 20, 2009.

On July 28, 2009, the Tribunal will distribute the public information received from the CBSA to all parties that have filed notices of participation, and the confidential information to counsel who have filed a declaration and undertaking with the Tribunal.

Submissions by parties opposed to the complaint must be filed on or before August 6, 2009. These submissions should include evidence, e.g. documents and sources that support the factual statements in the submissions, and argument concerning the questions of

• whether there are goods produced in Canada, other than those identified in the CBSA’s statement of reasons for initiating the investigation, that are like goods to the allegedly dumped goods;
• whether there is more than one class of allegedly dumped goods;
• which domestic producers of like goods comprise the domestic industry; and
• whether the information before the Tribunal discloses a reasonable indication that the alleged dumping of the goods has caused injury or retardation, or threatens to cause injury.

The complainant may make submissions in response to the submissions of parties opposed to the complaint by August 13, 2009. At that time, parties in support of the complaint may also make submissions to the Tribunal.

Parties should note that the Tribunal does not consider exclusion requests during a preliminary injury inquiry, and, therefore, none should be filed at this stage. Should the matter proceed to a final inquiry, particulars regarding the schedule for filing exclusion requests will be included in the notice of commencement of inquiry.

CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

DETERMINATION

Furniture

Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) made a determination (File No. PR-2008-052) on July 6, 2009, with respect to a complaint filed by Global Upholstery Co. Inc. (Global), of Downsview, 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. E60PQ-080001/B) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of various government departments. The solicitation was for the provision of office furniture.

Global alleged that PWGSC improperly evaluated its proposal.

Having examined the evidence presented by the parties and considered the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade, the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Agreement on Government Procurement and the Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement, the Tribunal determined that the complaint was not 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 RADIO-TELEVISION AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

REGULATORY POLICY 2009-406

Policy determinations resulting from the April 27, 2009, public hearing

In the policy, the Commission sets out its determinations relating to the Local Programming Improvement Fund (LPIF), appropriate contributions to Canadian programming, the implementation of the new distant signal policy, digital transition and terms of trade.

With respect to the LPIF, the Commission determines that for the upcoming broadcast year the appropriate contribution level by broadcasting distribution undertakings (BDUs) to the fund should be 1.5% of their gross revenues. The Commission also sets out an allocation formula and eligibility criteria for accessing the resulting LPIF funding, and establishes the eligible expenses and the administration of the fund.

As regards appropriate contributions to Canadian programming, the Commission addresses issues related to local, priority and independently produced programming. Specifically, the Commission defines what is meant by local programming, introduces and defines the concept of local presence, provides a rationale for the imposition of local programming levels as conditions of licence and harmonizes these levels for the largest multi-station ownership groups. Further, the Commission generally maintains the existing requirements and definition with respect to priority programming, as well as the current approaches to supporting independently produced programming.

With respect to the implementation of the distant signal policy, the Commission determines that given that the negotiations related to the distribution of distant signals and those related to the value of local signals concern compensation for the distribution of conventional television stations by BDUs, and given that both sets of negotiations will logically have an impact on one another, it would be appropriate to combine these negotiations.

With respect to digital transition, the Commission identifies in the appendix to the policy the major markets where it expects conventional broadcasters to convert their full-power, over-the-air analog transmitters to digital.

Finally, as regards terms of trade, it is the Commission’s view that, at this time, the establishment of appropriate terms-of-trade agreements is best directly negotiated by the parties involved without Commission intervention by way of mediation or otherwise.

The Commission notes that it intends to revisit the majority of these issues in the context of the September 29, 2009, policy hearing relating to a group-based licensing framework.
