Parks Canada has backtracked on a directive encouraging its employees to buy from Amazon.

Parks Canada has backtracked on a directive encouraging its employees to buy from Amazon.

“Parks Canada recognizes the email that went out yesterday regarding the Amazon Business program for procurement misses the mark, its timing and substance was not sensitive to the current dynamics and does not meet the public’s expectations,” an e-mail sent to CTV News states. “Parks is rescinding the directive effective immediately and is notifying employees of this decision.”

The department had sent a memo to its employees on Monday encouraging them to join Amazon Business to purchase office and other supplies.

Around the same time, the Canadian government was working to convince U.S. President Donald Trump to suspend his tariff threat.
