REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
(Delivered from the Bench at Vancouver, British Columbia, on September 13, 2005.)
SEXTON J.A.
[1] In this case the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the 'CITT') held that in the absence of a provision in the Request for a Standing Offer advising bidders that additional information would be requested and subsequently used in the evaluation of proposals, the Department of Public Works and Government Services (the 'PWGSC') was not entitled to use additional information of such a substantive nature in the evaluation of proposals. The CITT held that the actions of PWGSC went far beyond the use of minor clarification process. We are of the view that this decision was not patently unreasonable.
[2] The application will therefore be dismissed. No costs are awarded as the Respondent made no submissions on this application.
