DETERMINATION

EDP Hardware and Software

Notice is hereby given that the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal), further to a judgement of the Federal Court of Appeal dated May 26, 2000, amended, on August 17, 2000, the recommendation (File No. PR-98-047R) that it made in its determination of June 17, 1999, with respect to a complaint filed by Novell Canada, Ltd., of Hull, Quebec, 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 Solicitation No. W8474-9-QQD8/A of the Department of Public Works and Government Services on behalf of the Department of National Defence, by recommending the following:

Pursuant to subsections 30.15(2) and (3) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, after finding that the solicitation at issue relates to components of a network operating system rationalization project of the Department of National Defence, recommends, as a remedy, that the Department of National Defence dispose, outside the federal government, of the 325 Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 licences and the 12 000 client access licences that it acquired as a result of the above-mentioned solicitation and, if the need still exists, that it invite new proposals for this requirement in accordance with the trade agreements.

Should the Department of National Defence decide not to dispose of the server and client access licences, the Tribunal recommends, as an alternative, that, in addition to the recommendation for compensation for lost profits that it made in its determination of June 17, 1999, the Government compensate Novell Canada, Ltd. by a further amount, to be determined jointly by the Department of Public Works and Government Services and Novell Canada, Ltd. and to be submitted for the consideration of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, which reflects the implications for Novell Canada, Ltd. of leaving undisturbed the acquisition by the Department of National Defence by means of unjustified limited tendering procedures from Microsoft Corporation of the server and client access licences, which has handicapped and will handicap Novell Canada, Ltd.'s opportunity to be successful in competing for the requirements of the Department of National Defence's network operating system.

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).

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal, under the provisions of section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act, has conducted an inquiry (Inquiry No. NQ-2000-001) following the issuance by the Commissioner of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (the Commissioner) of a preliminary determination dated April 3, 2000, and of a final determination dated June 30, 2000, respecting the dumping in Canada of certain top-mount electric refrigerators, electric household dishwashers and gas or electric laundry dryers originating in or exported from the United States of America and produced by, or on behalf of, White Consolidated Industries, Inc. and Whirlpool Corporation, their respective affiliates, successors and assigns.

Pursuant to subsection 43(1) of the Special Import Measures Act, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal hereby finds that:

— destined for use in the Habitat for Humanity Program.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal also finds that the requirements of paragraph 42(1)(b) of the Special Import Measures Act with respect to massive dumping and of section 46 of the Special Import Measures Act with respect to an advice to the Commissioner regarding other allegedly dumped goods from the United States have not been met.

The statement of reasons will be issued within 15 days.
