8.135.25. Request for Termination by the Contractor

When a contractor requests a termination because of anticipated losses in performing the contract, consent will not be granted. Instead, the contractor should be instructed to carry out its obligations under the contract. The contractor may, on completion of the contract, request an "extra payment" for additional costs incurred or losses suffered, if some responsibility for the additional cost or for the loss can be ascribed to Canada. (See 8.135.1 Suspension of the Work - Stop Work Order).

If the contractor refuses to carry out the contractual obligations, the contract must be terminated for default.
