Louis S. St. Laurent was born and spent his childhood here; therefore, his name is associated with the complex comprising his grandfather's general store, the house and the gardens.

On January 12, 2001, the words "of Canada" were added to the names of national parks, national park reserves and national historic sites. The addition should be systematically used on cover pages, in titles, headings and at the beginning of documents. In the body of a text, it is appropriate stylistically to omit the words "of Canada." 6, record 1, English, - Louis%20S%2E%20St%2E%20Laurent%20National%20Historic%20Site%20of%20Canada

En régime de concurrence [...] le libre exercice de la profession bancaire aurait pour conséquence que, les banques enchérissant les unes sur les autres, le niveau des taux d'intérêt servis aux dépôts à vue s'élèverait plus ou moins au-dessus de zéro. (Tel était le cas au cours de la décennie 1920 : les dépôts «chécables» constitués par les clients des banques américaines étaient fréquemment rémunérés à raison de 5%). 1, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9p%C3%B4t%20ch%C3%A9cable
