Canadian American Strategic Review  —  Government Documents  CASR |  Background  Documents  |  In Detail  | Modest Proposal  |  Editorials CASR Government pages generally cover Government of  Canada procurement documents. The simplest form of procurement document, an ACAN, is a public notice that government has already chosen a supplier. A sole-source purchase will proceed unless any alternative suppliers submit statements of capabilities meeting the requirements set out in the ACAN. Such ACAN documents are published here (along with an associated CASR commentary). ACAN  documents and CASR commentaries are listed here in reverse chronological order.
