To ensure that the transboundary movement of hazardous wastes and other wastes is reduced to the minimum consistent with the environmentally sound and efficient management of such wastes, and to protect human health and the environment against the adverse effects which may result from the movement of vessels containing hazardous wastes, the Work must be performed within Canada.

If the Contracting Authority, in its sole discretion, determines that the Work cannot be performed within Canada in an environmentally sound and efficient manner, or if there are no suppliers who can perform the Work in Canada, the Contracting Authority may consider bids from suppliers who propose to perform the Work in another country only if that country is a Party to the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal or Canada has concluded an agreement or an arrangement pursuant to Article 11 of the Convention with that non-Party.

Canada has the right to reject any request to perform the Work in a country other than Canada if it has reason to believe that the Work will not be managed in an environmentally sound manner.
