The Western Canada Party(WCP) is a Canadian political party that advocates the separation from Canada of the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba as well as the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut to form a new country. The WIP ran 52 candidates across western Canada in the federal election of 1988. All the candidates were soundly defeated with none garnering even 1% of the popular vote in any riding. The party also has or had provincial branches in each of the provinces. The federal wing of the Western Independence Party was dormant; they have not run any candidates in any federal elections since 1988. The party has been resurrected in April, 2005 at a founding convention in Strathmore, AB under the new name "Western Canada Party. " 1, record 1, English, - Western%20Canada%20Party

A central database maintained at Headquarters containing electronic service request files which have been processed by OSCAR [Optimized System for Capture, Archiving and Retrieval]. These electronic service request files may not contain all the information which they did when they were on the WIP [work in process](since some of this data may not be of permanent value or interest). 1, record 3, English, - central%20index%20database

It should also be noted that the central index database will contain electronic service request files which were rejected, and which have not been completely processed. This is the database which will be searched to perform the OSCAR equivalent of the current "master index check", since this database contains records for all persons who have been issued travel documents. 1, record 3, English, - central%20index%20database

Under the new FF, transactions for FA&HSL vote codes 12 and 15 projects will no longer be processed through the Work In Process(WIP), they will instead be posted directly to the Separately Controlled allotment. In order for this to take place, the FMS code block expander must be modified so that when a transaction is input to the project in FMS, the correct expanded line of coding will be generated causing the appropriate transaction to be posted to the FA&HSL cost centre or RC. 1, record 5, English, - FMS%20code%20block%20expander

Selon le nouveau CF, les opérations portant sur des projets appartenant aux codes de crédits 12 et 15 dans la GSLAF ne seront plus traitées dans les Travaux en cours (TEC); elles seront plutôt comptabilisées directement dans l'affectation contrôlée séparément. Pour ce faire, on devra modifier l'extenseur du bloc de codage du SGF pour que lorsqu'une opération est portée à un projet dans le SGF, le système génère la bonne ligne de codage étendue pour comptabiliser l'opération correspondante dans le centre de coûts de la GSLAF ou dans un Centre de responsabilité. 1, record 5, French, - extenseur%20du%20bloc%20de%20codage%20du%20SGF
