The Canadian Egg Marketing Agency and its provincial-territorial partners have worked to improve on the egg's natural safety with several measures. The HACCP(Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Points)-based Start Clean-Stay Clean program, which is in place at the farm level in Canada, is considered a global model and complies with internationally recognized safety standards. Federal and provincial officers conduct inspections at the farm to advise on the Start Clean-Stay Clean safety guidelines. Start Clean-Stay Clean completed technical review by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in 2004.

L'Office canadien de commercialisation des œufs et ses partenaires provinciaux et territorial se sont efforcés d'améliorer les défenses naturelles de l'œuf en appliquant un ensemble de mesures spécifiques à cette fin. Le programme Propreté d'abord - Propreté toujours, fondé sur l'HACCP (Analyse des dangers et maîtrise des points critiques) et appliqué sur les fermes canadiennes, est considéré comme un modèle mondial, conforme aux normes de salubrité reconnues à l'échelle internationale. Des agents fédéraux et provinciaux effectuent des inspections à la ferme et conseillent les propriétaires sur les grandes lignes du programme Propreté d'abord - Propreté toujours. En 2004, ce programme a subi avec succès l'examen technique de l'Agence canadienne d'inspection des aliments.

Policy Research Initiative, Sustainable Development. The issue of public-private partnership is always complex, and this is even more so in the case of municipal water supply. This paper provides a critical review of the literature on this topic. Although there is a particular emphasis on lessons learned from and for the Canadian context, Canadian experience of PPPs in the water sector is limited, so most of the relevant literature refers to experiences in other countries which are frequently non-analogous.

Le présent exposé est une analyse documentaire critique de la question. Même si l'accent est mis sur les leçons à tirer du contexte canadien et sur celles qui pourraient s'y appliquer, l'expérience canadienne des PPP dans le secteur de l'eau est limitée, et la plupart des études pertinentes portent sur les expériences d'autres pays qui sont souvent dissemblables.

Online learning support is an integral part of the online learning process in guiding learners and providing feedback(Coomey & Stephenson, 2001; Oliver, 2001). In learner-centred instruction, learners direct and control various aspects of their learning(e. g. learning outcomes, choice of group members), with instructors in the background providing advice and general guidelines on resources and procedures. Various means of online learning support include :-Learning guides(e. g. generic ones on study and research skills or specific guides on how to complete a particular online course).-Online mentors and buddies who facilitate, coach or guide learners through the course.-Online personal learning portfolios(e. g. learners’ journals, personal learning logs) to promote self-reflection(a critical component of learner-centred instruction).-Online public learning portfolios to encourage peer review and feedback on each other's work.

To this end the Design Certification Review, established for manned flights, serves an important role. Shortly our program of progressive Design Certification Reviews leading to certification for the manned lunar landing will commence. A significant part of the effort requires a comprehensive supporting analysis of critical hardware to assure that all single failure points have been identified and accepted by all levels of Apollo Program management.... it [is] necessary, therefore, that the Design Certification Review program formally record a listing of single failure points existing in flight and launch critical ground equipment which would cause crew or mission loss, together with a statement of rationale for accepting the risk of each of these single failure points.

One of the constraints on previous efforts to modernize the Shuttle LPS was the requirement to retain the computer language GOAL(Ground Operations Aerospace Language). GOAL is a KSC-unique language which has driven checkout and validation requirements due to its design. A major concern about GOAL was that simple displays are created from the same programs that execute critical commands. As a result, even the simplest of changes require rigorous and exhaustive testing to insure the critical command function remains intact. The LPS Upgrades Review Team chartered by Sieck concluded that the new launch processing system needed to be free of the constraints imposed by GOAL.

Le LPS deviendra le CLCS, Checkout Launch & Control System.
