On March 1, 1999, pursuant to the new Canada Marine Act, the name and status of the Montreal Port Corporation were changed to the Montreal Port Authority (MPA). The transition from the Montreal Port Corporation is facilitated by the fact that the enterprise has already been operating in a commercial, efficient and profitable manner since at least its founding as a local port corporation in 1983 in accordance with the Canada Port Authorities Act, which had replaced the National Harbours Board Act of 1936, the Government Harbours and Piers Act and the Harbour Commissions Act of 1964. 5, record 1, English, - Montreal%20Port%20Authority

L'Administration portuaire de Montréal (APM) est une agence fédérale autonome créée en vertu de la Loi maritime du Canada.

Le 1er mars 1999, en vertu de la nouvelle Loi maritime du Canada, la Société du port de Montréal a changé de nom et de statut et est devenue l'Administration portuaire de Montréal (APM). Le passage de la Société du port de Montréal à l'Administration portuaire de Montréal est facilité par le fait que l'entreprise exerçait déjà ses activités de façon commerciale, efficace et rentable depuis au moins sa fondation en tant que société portuaire locale en 1983 et selon la Loi sur la Société canadienne des ports. Cette dernière venait remplacer la Loi sur le Conseil des ports nationaux de 1936, la Loi sur les ports et jetées de l'État et la Loi sur les commissions de port de 1964. 5, record 1, French, - Administration%20portuaire%20de%20Montr%C3%A9al

Transport Canada. Urban, Intermodalism and Motor Carrier Policy Branch. In Canada, jurisdiction over motor carriers(truck and bus operators) is shared between the federal government and the provinces. However, the federal role is largely one of coordination and facilitation. Federal legislation, the Motor Vehicle Transport Act(MVTA) allows provinces to apply their own rules and regulations to motor carriers in federal jurisdiction, subject to the conditions set in the Act. Motor Carrier Policy is one of two groups within Transport Canada that is directly concerned with matters relating to the MVTA, the other being the Road Safety Group. 1, record 3, English, - Motor%20Carrier%20Policy

Transports Canada. Direction des politiques sur l'urbanisme, l'intermodalisme et les transporteurs routiers. Au Canada, le gouvernement fédéral et les provinces se partagent la compétence du transport routier (exploitants de camions et d'autobus). Cependant, le gouvernement fédéral joue majoritairement un rôle de coordination et de facilitation. Une loi fédérale, la Loi sur les transports routiers (LTR), autorise les provinces à appliquer leurs propres règles et règlements aux transporteurs routiers relevant de la compétence fédérale, sous réserve des conditions énoncées dans la Loi. Le groupe Politique des transports routiers est l'un des deux groupes qui s'occupe directement des questions relatives à la LTR; l'autre est le groupe Sécurité routière. 1, record 3, French, - Politique%20sur%20les%20transporteurs%20routiers

Oxidized form of haemoglobin that is unable to bind oxygen because the ferrous atoms of the haem group have been oxidized to their ferric state. 1, record 4, English, - methaemoglobin
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
In the normal function of hemoglobin and myoglobin the iron atom does not undergo change in valence as oxygen is bound and lost; it remains in the Fe(II) state. However, both hemoglobin and myoglobin can be oxidized to the Fe(III), or hemin, form by oxidizing agents such as ferricyanide, with a change in color from red to brown. The respective products, which do not function reversibly as oxygen carriers, are called methemoglobin and metmyoglobin. In the cytochromes, however, the iron atom undergoes reversible changes between Fe(II) and Fe(III) forms; cytochromes serve as electron carriers, whereas hemoglobin and myoglobin act as ligand(oxygen) carriers. 3, record 4, English, - methaemoglobin

Resale carriers rely on leased lines and equipment from other common carriers. There are two broad types of resellers-namely, brokers and value-added carriers. Brokers act as wholesales by buying cheap bulk services from common carriers’ services with their own equipment to "add value" to the service.(TELPO, 1982, p. 287) 1, record 6, English, - resale%20carrier
