DETERMINATION
Environmental services
Notice is given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal made a determination (file PR-2024-013) on August 19, 2024, with respect to a complaint filed by Weatherlogics Inc. (Weatherlogics), of Lorette West, Manitoba, pursuant to subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, concerning a procurement (solicitation 5000073434) by the Department of the Environment (ECCC). The solicitation was for the update of Canadian precipitation datasets.
Weatherlogics alleged that ECCC unfairly and inaccurately re-evaluated its bid, further to the Tribunal’s determination dated February 7, 2024, arising from a previous complaint (PR-2023-039) pertaining to the same solicitation.
Having examined the evidence presented by the parties and considered the provisions of the applicable trade agreement, the Tribunal determined that the complaint was valid.
Further information may be obtained from the Registry, 613‑993‑3595 (telephone), citt-tcce@tribunal.gc.ca (email).
