DETERMINATION

Marine

Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) made a determination (File Nos. PR-2000-044 and PR-2000-049 to PR-2000-053) on May 14, 2001, with respect to complaints filed by Polaris Inflatable Boats (Canada) Ltd. (the complainant), of Langley, British Columbia, under subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, R.S.C. 1985 (4th Supp.), c. 47, as amended by the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, S.C. 1993, c. 44, concerning procurements (Solicitation Nos. F1701-000169/A, F5575-000232/A, F2599-002425/A, F3036-00C032/A, F3059-00AP01/A and F1808-000171/A) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (the Department) on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The solicitation was for rigid hull inflatable boats.

The complainant alleged that the Department had established time frames for the submission of proposals and the delivery of the final product that had the effect of discriminating in favour of a competitor's product.

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 complaints were valid in part.

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 (Facsimile).

PUBLIC NOTICE 2001-39-1

Call for Applications for a Broadcasting Licence to Carry on a Radio Programming Undertaking to Serve Toronto, Ontario

In Public Notice CRTC 2001-39 dated March 22, 2001, the Commission invited persons interested in broadcasting licences for the provision of AM and/or FM radio programming services to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) to submit their applications by May 22, 2001.

On January 31, 2001, the Commission had issued a report to the Governor in Council concluding that the GTA has a diverse multicultural, multiracial and multilingual population that is rapidly increasing in size, and that there is a strong demand for new radio services to serve the ethnic population in the GTA. However, the report had noted that opportunities for the use of new AM or FM frequencies to provide additional radio services are limited under existing Industry Canada technical rules for spectrum usage.

Accordingly, Industry Canada has been reviewing radio broadcasting capacity in the GTA, and has just advised the Commission that it is in the process of finalizing the results of its analysis.

Since Industry Canada expects to announce the details of its findings in the near future, the Commission hereby suspends the deadline for filing applications until further notice.
