POLICY HIGHLIGHTS
The policy advances PSPC’s commitment to a procurement process that reflects Canada’s bilingual identity.
The policy extensively covers sourcing, translating and tendering with professionally sealed documents for real property requirements, taking into consideration the provincial and territorial regulations that govern the practice of architecture, engineering and geoscience.
