PROCURING   AMERICAN:  CANADA'S  NEW  SUB-FEDERAL  PROCUREMENT
                           OBLIGATIONS


                           Craig Garbe *



In early 2009 the US government introduced The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA), a massive direction of US stimulus spending to
kickstart the US economy. The ARRA contained clauses which made some
stimulus spending at the sub-federal level conditional on the purchase of US
goods and services. While certainly not a novel American response, the
restrictive provisions of the ARRA attracted much Canadian attention. This
paper examines the current status of Canadian sub-federal procurement law,
in light of agreements reached between Canada and the US in response to the
ARRA.   It argues that the Canadian response to the ARRA is problematic
based on the historical and current practice of sub-federal procurement by
the Canadian government.
