Ottawa,
August 24, 2009:
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce applauded the
leadership shown by Prime Minister Harper and the
Honourable Stockwell Day, Minister of
International Trade for putting forward an offer to the
United States seeking a waiver from ‘Buy
American’ for Canadian companies opening local procurement markets to companies from both
countries. Minister Day contacted his
U.S. counterpart, Ambassador Kirk, to say that
Canada’s provinces and territories agreed to an
offer to lock-in U.S. access to Canada’s
procurement markets in exchange for pre-stimulus
access to the United States.
