08/05/2024 02:30 - 97 Views

If a safeguard measure is to remain in effect for a period of more than three years, the Tribunal must, under the CITT Act, conduct a mid-term review of the measure before its mid-point.

The Tribunal notifies interested parties and governments of a mid-term review five months before the mid-point of the period. The notice is published in the Canada Gazette and posted on the Tribunal’s website. Interested parties are asked to make written submissions on why a measure should remain in effect, be repealed or be amended. On the basis of these submissions and other information, the Tribunal submits a report to the Government on developments since the measure was applied and advises on whether the measure should remain in effect, be repealed or be amended. Notice of the report is given to interested parties and governments, published in the Canada Gazette and posted on the Tribunal’s website.
