7.30.25. Trade agreements reporting
- Some trade agreements, including the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), and the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP) require that parties report on covered procurement. In response to this obligation, Public Works and Government Services Canada provides statistics to the Treasury Board Secretariat who is responsible for the government-wide report.
- Contracting officers are to ensure that when their procurement is covered by one or more of Canada’s trade agreements it is identified accurately to meet all trade agreements reporting obligations.
- Contracts must be reported as per subsection d. of 7.30.5 Procurement Activity Reporting to Treasury Board Secretariat. Such reports must identify which trade agreements applied to the procurement.
