I want to put that into practice. Let's say I have a Canadian business located in Nova Scotia that manufactures pumps and that you need pumps for the Department of National Defence, but there's also a subsidiary of an American business in Toronto manufacturing pumps. On the basis of the plans and estimates, there's no possible disparity between the bids of the two businesses: they are identical.
Which one are you going to choose, if you're putting up a building for National Defence in Quebec and you need a pump? If the two products are identical, will you choose the one from Nova Scotia, which is typically Canadian, or the one from Toronto, which comes from a subsidiary of an American business?
