It has become fairly common in hospitals, clinics, and other institutions in many parts of Canada to see an Aboriginal healer undertaking a ceremony for a patient. This development really accelerated in the early 1980s, as hospital administrators grappled with the complexities of having so many culturally different patients who were going to consult healers with or without hospital involvement. 3, record 2, English, - Indigenous%20healer

Requisitions on title... may be further subdivided into requisitions going to the root of the title and other requisitions on title... The relevance of the distinction lies in the application of the clause limiting the time within which requisitions may be made. Where the requisition does not go to the root of title this provision tends to be applied strictly. Where, on the other hand, the requisition does go to the root of title, the requisition may be made after the time stipulated by the contract and the provisions of the contract will not result in the purchaser being deemed to have accepted the defect in question.(Law Society of Upper Canada, Bar Admission Course, Real Estate Law, 1990-1991, p. 8-2). 1, record 3, English, - requisition%20going%20to%20the%20root%20of%20title

Cet atelier d'une journée destiné aux gestionnaires et aux employés de Travaux publics et Services gouvernementaux Canada les aide à comprendre de quelle façon ils réagissent sur le plan personnel au changement. L'atelier leur donne l'occasion de mieux comprendre le changement et les aide à passer à l'étape de la prise en main personnelle en se libérant de la codépendance organisationnelle. Cela signifie découvrir leur identité actuelle si elle n'est pas définie par leur travail, leur permettre de découvrir ce qui est important pour eux (valeurs fondamentales) et décrire leurs aspirations (vision) et, finalement, définir quels moyens ils prendront pour atteindre leur but et quels seront leurs besoins à cet égard (fixation des objectifs, développement et amélioration des aptitudes). Cet atelier devrait donner lieu à l'amélioration de la productivité et au renouvellement de l'organisation. 1, record 9, French, - Faire%20face%20au%20changement%20et%20y%20survivre
