CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

COMMENCEMENT OF PRELIMINARY INJURY INQUIRY

Greenhouse bell peppers

Notice was received by the Secretary of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) on March 22, 2010, 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 greenhouse bell peppers originating in or exported from the Netherlands (the subject goods).

Pursuant to subsection 34(2) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Tribunal has initiated a preliminary inquiry (Preliminary Injury Inquiry No. PI-2009-005) 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 April 7, 2010. 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 April 7, 2010.

On April 13, 2010, 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 Secretary.

Submissions by parties opposed to the complaint must be filed not later than noon, on April 22, 2010. 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 subject goods;
• whether the subject goods comprise more than one class of 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 subject goods has caused injury or retardation, or is threatening to cause injury.

The complainant may make submissions in response to the submissions of parties opposed to the complaint not later than noon, on April 29, 2010. 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.

DETERMINATION

Financial and related services

Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) made a determination (File No. PR-2009-069) on March 24, 2010, with respect to a complaint filed by the Chamber of Shipping of British Columbia (COS), of Vancouver, British Columbia, pursuant to subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, R.S.C. 1985 (4th Supp.), c. 47, concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. FP802-090083) by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). The solicitation was for the management of the billing and collection of the Canadian Coast Guard’s Marine Navigation Services Fee.

COS alleged that DFO improperly evaluated its proposal.

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 not valid.

ORDER 2010-168

Reference to the Federal Court of Appeal — Commission’s jurisdiction under the Broadcasting Act to implement a negotiated solution for the compensation for the fair value of private local conventional television signals

In A group-based approach to the licensing of private television services, Broadcasting Regulatory Policy CRTC 2010-167, March 22, 2010, the Commission sets out its determinations with respect to a group-based approach to the licensing of private local television services, including the determination that a value for program distribution regime is necessary to ensure the fulfillment of the policy objectives set out in section 3 of the Broadcasting Act (the Act). However, the Commission did not determine the legal issue as to whether it has the jurisdiction under the Act to implement a negotiated solution for compensation for the fair value of private local conventional television signals. Consequently, the Commission determined that it would refer the matter to the Federal Court of Appeal (the Court).

Pursuant to section 18.3 and subsection 28(2) of the Federal Courts Act, the Commission therefore orders that the following question of law be referred to Court for hearing and determination and requests disposition of the matter on an expedited basis:

Is the Commission empowered, pursuant to its mandate under the Broadcasting Act, to establish a regime to enable private local television stations to choose to negotiate with broadcasting distribution undertakings a fair value in exchange for the distribution of the programming services broadcast by those local television stations?

The Commission expects to receive directions on procedure from the Court. The Court’s directions on procedure will be available at the Court, and copies can be obtained from the Commission on request.

• Proposed regime for value for signal and the question of the Commission’s jurisdiction to be referred to the Federal Court of Appeal for expedited hearing and determination.

Further, the Commission notes its determinations, set out in broadcasting regulatory policies to be issued shortly, relating to advertising on the video-on-demand platform and to the sale of commercial advertising in the local availabilities of non-Canadian specialty services. It also states its intention to conduct a review of its policies concerning direct-to-home (DTH) services prior to the next licence renewal proceedings for the two DTH undertakings currently in operation (Shaw Direct and Bell TV).

Finally, the Commission addresses various issues relating to the digital television (DTV) transition for English- and French-language conventional television broadcasters, including its revised list of mandatory markets, the date set for the DTV transition, and the operation of analog transmitters in and outside the mandatory markets.
