Summary
Trump’s threat to block Canadian firms from U.S. government contracts has sent shockwaves through the market, triggering stock drops for companies like CGI and Aecon. The move stems from a dispute over unequal access to U.S. contracts, with unclear rules on whether services or goods are targeted — leaving some analysts skeptical about CGI’s true exposure. Canada’s push for domestic procurement and provincial restrictions on U.S. bids aim to boost self-reliance, especially in tech. CGI insists its U.S.-based operations employ Americans and deliver U.S.-originated services, positioning itself as a key partner. As officials finalize the directive, the real impact hinges on how strictly it’s enforced — and whether “Canadian-origin” means parent company or actual service delivery.
