   or persons subject to economic sanctions.

   against a country or person or the addition of a good or service
   to the list of sanctioned goods or services cause an impossibility
   of performance for the Contractor, the situation will be treated
   by the Parties as a force majeure. The Contractor must immediately
   inform Canada of the situation and the procedures applicable
