The code outlines industry practices and consumer and industry responsibilities, which will help to protect consumers in their use of debit card services in Canada. It applies only to services that use debit cards and personal identification numbers(PIN) to access point-of-service terminals, such as automated banking machines(ABM), point-of-sale(POS) terminals and debit card terminals in the home. The code does not cover transactions that take place outside Canada, or that transfer funds into or out of Canada; other arrangements apply to these transactions. Card issuers will also do their best to protect consumers in such transactions and to resolve any problems that may occur. 2, record 1, English, - Canadian%20Code%20of%20Practice%20for%20Consumer%20Debit%20Card%20Services

... an electronic highway system, as varied in its capacity and uses as is our national system of roads : a network for all of us to use in seeking vital information, government services, community participation, health care, police protection, education material, entertainment, even home shopping and banking services, allowing us to strengthen our common values and national identity [Honourable Perrin Beatty, Minister of Communications at the Vancouver INTERCOM conference, on February 23, 1993]. 12, record 3, English, - information%20highway

The term "Infobahn" is a German borrowing frequently used in the Canadian and American press. It has recently undergone a semantic shift to mean "a high speed computer network" (CAOXD, 1998). The term "electronic highway" comes to information technology from the field of road transportation where it refers to an electronically-controlled highway (traffic flow and user security). 12, record 3, English, - information%20highway
