Building and facility maintenance and repair services

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal has received a complaint (file PR-2024-061) from Atwill-Morin Québec inc. (Atwill), of Montréal, Quebec, concerning a procurement (solicitation CCBN-P2500143) made by the National Battlefields Commission (Commission). The solicitation was for the repair of the stairs on the façade of the Plains of Abraham Museum. Pursuant to subsection 30.13(2) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act and subsection 7(2) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Procurement Inquiry Regulations, notice is given that the Tribunal made a decision on December 2, 2024, to conduct an inquiry into the complaint.
