Private health insurance is often defined as insurance that is taken up voluntarily and paid for privately, either by individuals or by employers on behalf of employees... This definition recognizes that private health insurance may be sold by a wide range of entities, both public and private in nature.... The reference to private payment signals a further defining characteristic : private health insurance premiums are typically linked to a person's risk of ill health or set as a flat rate, whereas pre-payment for publicly financed coverage is almost always linked to income. 1, record 1, English, - private%20health%20insurance

Many important wildlife habitats are found on private properties, such as cottages, woodlots, ranches and farms. The people who own these lands play an important role in protecting such habitats by limiting certain activities and practices, and encouraging restoration and stewardship. But what happens if they can no longer care for their property, or it passes out of their hands? Since 1995, Environment Canada's Ecological Gifts Program has enabled individual and corporate landowners to protect their cherished piece of nature forever by donating ecologically sensitive land to an environmental charity or government body. An "ecogift" can be a donation of land or a partial interest in land-such as a conservation easement, covenant or servitude. In addition to the peace of mind of knowing that the land will be managed by the recipient according to mutually agreed-upon conservation goals and objectives, donors are also eligible to receive income tax benefits for their donation. 1, record 8, English, - Ecological%20Gifts%20Program

Un grand nombre d'habitats d'espèces sauvages importants se trouvent sur des propriétés privées, telles que sur des terrains de chalets, des terres à bois, des fermes d'élevage et des exploitations agricoles. Les propriétaires de ces terres sont appelés à jouer un rôle important dans la protection de tels habitats en favorisant leur remise en état et la bonne intendance de l'environnement, et en empêchant la pratique de certaines activités. Qu'advient-il toutefois de leur propriété lorsqu'ils ne peuvent plus s'en occuper ou quand celle-ci est cédée à un autre propriétaire? Depuis 1995, le Programme des dons écologiques d'Environnement Canada permet aux propriétaires fonciers - individus et entreprises privées - d'assurer à jamais la protection de la parcelle de nature qui leur est chère en faisant don de terres écosensibles à un organisme gouvernemental. Un «don écolog4que» peut être le don d'une terre ou d'un intérêt foncier partiel, c'est-à-dire une convention ou une servitude de conservation, selon le Code civil (servitude selon le code civil) ou la common law (servitude selon la common law). Les donateurs ont non seulement la satisfaction de savoir que les terres seront gérées par le bénéficiaire selon des buts et des objectifs de conservation dont ils ont mutuellement convenus, mais ils jouissent aussi d'avantages fiscaux. 1, record 8, French, - Programme%20des%20dons%20%C3%A9cologiques
