Soutien financier accordé à une entreprise, à un particulier ou à une collectivité par l'État ou une collectivité publique [subvention publique (government grant)] ou encore par un autre organisme [subvention privée (private grant)], par exemple une association caritative. 3, record 1, French, - subvention
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La subvention est accordée à la discrétion de l'organisme subventionneur. Il en établit lui-même le bénéficiaire et le montant et peut fixer des conditions à satisfaire. 2) On distingue, selon leur destination, trois types de subventions : la subvention d'équilibre (balancing subsidy), la subvention d'exploitation (operating grant), appelée aussi subvention de fonctionnement, et la subvention d'investissement (capital grant), appelée aussi subvention d'équipement. 3, record 1, French, - subvention
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Le terme subside, parfois employé sous l'influence de l'anglais pour rendre subsidy, a un sens plus large lorsqu'il désigne une somme versée à un particulier ou à un groupement soit à titre d'aide ou de subvention, soit en rémunération de services. 2) Le mot octroi au sens de subvention est une impropriété à éviter. 3, record 1, French, - subvention
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
On ne reconnaît aujourd'hui au mot «octroi» que la signification suivante : «Action d'accorder quelque chose». Il n'y a donc pas lieu de l'employer au sens de «chose accordée» et d'en faire ainsi un synonyme du mot «subvention». 2, record 1, French, - subvention

A distinct geographic market is going to have to be defined by each individual kind of business. Take, for example, a Treats franchise in downtown Ottawa.

Private contractors often operate under city licenses or franchises. Municipal regulation may be extensive or may be confined simply to enforcing general public health and nuisance ordinances... Where an individual collector or company is granted an exclusive privilege to conduct the solid waste collection business for an entire city and has a formal franchise or contract with the municipality, there is some confusion as to classification. The significant point of distinction is not that a contract or franchise is in force, but that the collector is paid by his customers--not the city--for the service rendered. 1, record 8, English, - franchise%20collection

On emploie parfois "service concédé" pour désigner le service confié à l'entreprise. En réalité cet usage est impropre. La "concession" suppose la rémunération directe de l'entreprise par l'usager ou le bénéficiaire du service, tandis que dans le cas du service confié à l'entreprise, c'est la municipalité qui assure la rémunération de l'exploitant. 1, record 8, French, - service%20conc%C3%A9d%C3%A9
