For the purposes of D3, discriminatory procurement practices which are not allowed under this Annex include, but are not limited to:
(a) registration requirements and restrictions on calls for bids based upon the location of a supplier and its subcontractors, or the place where the goods or services are produced and, generally, qualification procedures that discriminate between suppliers by province of origin;
(b) the biasing of specifications in favour of, or against, a particular good or service for the purpose of circumventing this Annex;
(c) the timing of bid opening and closing dates so as to prevent qualified suppliers from submitting bids;
(d) the specification of quantities and delivery schedules of a scale and frequency that may reasonably be judged as deliberately designed to prevent qualified suppliers from meeting the requirements of the procurement;
(e) the division of required quantities or the diversion of budgetary funds to subsidiary agencies in a manner designed to circumvent this Annex;
(f) the consideration, in evaluating bids, of provincial content or economic benefits that favour a supplier or good of one of the participating Provinces;
(g) the giving of preference to selected bids after bids have been submitted and without any mention of the intended preference in the tender documents;
(h) the use of price discounts or preferential margins to favour suppliers of one Province;
(I) the unjustifiable exclusion of a qualified supplier from bidding;
(j) the requirement that a construction contractor or subcontractor use workers, materials or suppliers of materials originating from the Province where the work is being carried out.
