Disposable Adult Incontinence Briefs, Inquiry No. NQ-2006-004

Notice was received by the Secretary of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) on February 20, 2007, from the Acting Director General of the Trade Programs Directorate at the Canada Border Services Agency, stating that a preliminary determination had been made respecting the dumping of all-in-one (one piece) disposable adult incontinence briefs, which provide absorbent protection against urinary and fecal incontinence and are held in place during use by means of a fastening system, originating in or exported from France.

 Pursuant to section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Tribunal has initiated an inquiry to determine whether the dumping of the above-mentioned goods has caused injury or retardation or is threatening to cause injury, and to determine such other matters as the Tribunal is required to determine under that section.

 Under section 46 of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, a person who provides information to the Tribunal and who wishes some or all of the information to be kept confidential must submit to the Tribunal, at the time the information is provided, a statement designating the information as confidential, together with an explanation as to why that information is designated as confidential. Furthermore, the person must submit a non-confidential summary of the information designated as confidential or a statement indicating why such a summary cannot be made.
