The Government of Canada launched public consultations on reciprocal procurement policies in Canada.
This initiative will seek views on how best to offset negative effects expected as a result of restrictive measures adopted by Canada’s trading partners, such as the United States’ Buy America measures recently introduced under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
Reciprocal procurement policies would ensure that Canada’s trading relationships are mutually beneficial and that countries restricting Canadian access to their procurement markets do not unfairly benefit from Canada’s procurement system.
The consultations will be open until May 30, 2022.
