La Politique-cadre en matière de déchets radioactifs énonce un ensemble de principes régissant les modes d'organisation et de financement à mettre en œuvre pour assurer l'évacuation des déchets radioactifs, y compris les déchets de combustible nucléaire, par les producteurs et propriétaires de déchets. Le gouvernement fédéral a la responsabilité de mettre en place des politiques, des règlements et des mécanismes de surveillance qui lui permettront de s'assurer que les producteurs et propriétaires de déchets se conforment aux exigences de la loi et s'acquittent de leurs responsabilités financières et opérationnelles conformément aux plans approuvés d'évacuation des déchets. 1, record 1, French, - Politique%2Dcadre%20en%20mati%C3%A8re%20de%20d%C3%A9chets%20radioactifs

There are two ways that a searcher can circumvent this tedious process of using the Grantee indexes to "go back" on a title. Another lawyer can let him borrow his title abstract... The other method is the use of "tie-in clauses". For example, assume that at the end of the legal description in a 1984 deed from G. H. to I. J., the conveyancer who prepared the deed were to add a clause to the following effect : Being the same lands described in a deed from E. F. to G. H. dated Jan. 7, 1972 and recorded at(Halifax) Registry of Deeds office on Jan. 7, 1972 in Book 2529 at page 47. The searcher wouldn’t waste time searching the Grantee index, starting in 1984-he’d immediately open Book 2529 to page 47 and examine the deed to G. H.(Howlett, 1986, p. 5). 1, record 2, English, - tie%2Din%20clause
