What specific action did Trump direct the GSA to take regarding Canadian goods, and under what condition would it be reversed?

Trump directed the General Services Administration (GSA), in coordination with the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), to remove Canadian-origin products from the GSA’s Multiple Award Schedules unless Canada restores 'full and fair reciprocity' for American farmers and companies. He stated this action is contingent on Ottawa reversing its alleged bans on American small businesses and companies from selling into Canadian government procurement markets.

According to Trump’s Truth Social post, what justification did he give for targeting Canadian goods in U.S. federal procurement?

Trump claimed that 'the Canadian Government, including Canadian Provinces, have banned American Small Businesses and Companies from selling into their Government Procurement Markets,' and cited this as the reason for directing the removal of Canadian-origin products from GSA’s Multiple Award Schedules until 'full and fair reciprocity' is restored for American farmers and companies.
