Correction to AlbertaEx export applicant name

Summary#

This Canada Gazette “Commissions” notice corrects the applicant name on a previously published electricity-export item and reports a few commission actions. It records that the Canadian International Trade Tribunal has opened two procurement inquiries and that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission posted a list of recent decisions and orders. The page was published on September 9, 2023.

What it does#

• Fixes a name error in an earlier notice about an application to export electricity to the United States: the two occurrences of “AlbertaEx, L.P.” should read AlbertaEx G.P. Inc., on behalf of AlbertaEx, L.P..
• Announces that the Canadian International Trade Tribunal decided on August 22, 2023 to hold an inquiry into a complaint (File PR-2023-028) from Leo-Pisces Services Group Inc. about a National Research Council procurement for a Level 3 BI programmer/analyst. The complainant says its financial bid was unfairly evaluated and asks for a re-evaluation.
• Announces that the Canadian International Trade Tribunal decided on August 28, 2023 to hold an inquiry into a complaint (File PR-2023-029) from Maerix inc. about a Transport Canada solicitation for software-as-a-service to manage occupational health and safety programs. The company alleges the solicitation lacked enough quantitative detail for bidders.
• Notes that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission posts full decisions and related documents on its website and provides an abridged list of recent decisions and orders (decisions and orders dated August 25–29, 2023) involving various broadcasters and undertakings.

Who's affected#

• Parties tracking or involved in the electricity-export application: AlbertaEx G.P. Inc. and AlbertaEx, L.P., and anyone who follows that export filing.
• Bidders and suppliers who responded to, or might respond to, the two government procurements — especially Leo-Pisces Services Group Inc., Maerix inc., the National Research Council of Canada, and Transport Canada.
• Broadcasters, broadcasting distribution undertakings, and audiences linked to the licensees named in the CRTC decisions and orders.
• The general public only indirectly, unless you are a bidder, a broadcaster, or follow electricity-export approvals.

Why it matters#

• Correcting the applicant name ensures the public record matches the actual party seeking to export electricity. That matters for transparency and for anyone checking who is applying.
• The Tribunal inquiries could lead to a re-evaluation of bids or changes to how those procurements were run. That affects companies that bid on government work and can influence future procurement fairness.
• The CRTC listings show recent licensing and regulatory actions that can change what radio and TV services are available in particular communities.
