Government of Canada Canada writes in respone to the Tribunal’s communication of August 30, 2020, noting that it requires further information in order to make a decision on Canada’s request of August 24, 2020, which requested the Tribunal to order the Claimant to produce the live (or native) Excel spreadsheeets used in the preparation of various schedules and figures included in the damages expert report accompanying the Claimant’s Memorial of August 7, 2020. In response to the specific questions posed in the Tribunal’s e-mail, Canada confirms its position that the information that it seeks is both (i) not in the schedules in Section 10 and the figures in Appendix B of the Deloitte Expert Report (CER-1); and (ii) cannot be deduced from the information the Claimant has provided in its submission of August 7, 2020, including the Memorial, the Deloitte Expert Report, and accompanying documents. Canada explains in more detail below. First, the Claimant states that its damages model could be recreated by copying and pasting the figures provided in Schedules 1-8 into Excel.1 This is incorrect. -
