Canada

In endorsing this Agreement vis-à-vis the United States for Annex 1 (Federal departments and agencies), Canada's commitments are made on the basis of our understanding of (1) the value of the U.S. offer at the time of signing of the Agreement in Marrakesh and (2) the value of 'small and minority business set-asides' discussed with the Unites States in reference to the exception taken for these programs in their offer. Canada would further note that its commitments are put forward on the understanding that the value of U.S. contracts, otherwise subject to WTO-AGP, to which preferences for U.S. small and minority businesses are applied, is consistent with statistics recently tabled by the United States in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 10 of the NAFTA. These statistics indicate that the total value of small and minority business set-asides for U.S. departments and agencies is US$3.0 billion. With appropriate adjustments for the higher treshold values of the WTO-AGP, that value would be approximately US$2.4 billion.
