This is from the published bill. The Library of Parliament often publishes better independent summaries.
The purpose of this enactment is to promote economic development in Canada by ensuring that, in the procurement of its goods and services, the Government of Canada gives preference to Canadian products while complying with its international obligations.
The enactment requires, however, that the price of a Canadian product not exceed by more than 7.5% the price of a non-Canadian similar product.
