On April 20, 2026, the Canada Border Services Agency (“CBSA”) issued a Notice of Initiation of Investigation under the Special Import Measures Act (“SIMA”) in respect of the alleged dumping of steel racks from China.

GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT CHALLENGES

REQUIREMENT TO BE LIBERAL PARTY MEMBER, NOT ENOUGH TO TRIGGER SUCCESS?

Yes, this is a bit of clickbait title above – the government contract in question had a requirement that the successful bidder be a member of the Canadian Roofing Contractors Association (“CRCA” and the “Membership Requirement”), and our point is that it could well have required membership in any other organization, even a political one!

SAFEGUARD INQUIRY: CERTAIN WOOD GOODS

CITT TO DETERMINE WHETHER IMPORTS THREATEN CANADIAN PRODUCERS

On April 21, 2026, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (“CITT”) issued a Notice of Commencement of Safeguard Inquiry (the “Notice”) under the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act in respect of imports of certain wood goods (“Subject Goods”). The matter was referred to the CITT by the Government of Canada through an Order in Council on April 20, 2026, which was prompted by a formal request from the Canadian Wood Products Alliance.

Contextual Background

It is worth noting that one potential catalyst for the CITT’s safeguard inquiry into the Subject Goods is the fact that United States (“US”) has placed 25% tariffs on similar wooden products (i.e., upholstered wooden furniture, kitchen cabinets and vanities, etc.) since October 14, 2025, through a Presidential Proclamation. It is possible, if not likely, that many of these products destined for the US market have been diverted to the Canadian market to avoid the US tariffs.
