Manitoba Government Introduces Buy Canadian Act



Today, the Manitoba government introduced amendments to the Government Purchases Act that would prioritize Canadian suppliers. 

As a result of the buy Canadian act, the province would have to establish a buy Canadian policy across government. 

Under the buy Canadian policy, preferential treatment may be given to a Canadian supplier when purchasing goods under the authority of the Government Purchases Act.
