Office of the Commissioner of Review Tribunals, Ottawa, 2002. This paper offers a policy and political history of the disability benefit component of the Canada Pension Plan(CPP), the "poor cousin" of this public contributory pension plan. Broad policy trends and program developments are the focus, highlighting the role of Ministers, Members of Parliament, public servants, policy advisors and other political actors. To do so, the paper examines the pension reform agendas and records of the Pearson, Trudeau, Mulroney and Chrétien governments. The analysis covers the origins, early implementation, liberalization of benefits, and the more recent restraint and reorientation of the disability benefit program.

Bureau du Commissaire des tribunaux de révision, Ottawa, 2002. Le présent document brosse un historique, tant sur le plan des politiques que du contexte politique, du volet des prestations d'invalidité du Régime de pensions du Canada (RPC), le «parent pauvre» de ce régime de pension contributif de l'État. On s'intéressera tout particulièrement aux tendances générales en matière de politique ainsi qu'au développement des programmes, en soulignant le rôle des ministres, des députés, des fonctionnaires, des conseillers en matière de politiques et des autres intervenants politiques. Pour ce faire, le présent document analyse les programmes de réforme des pensions ainsi que les réalisations des gouvernements Pearson, Trudeau, Mulroney et Chrétien. L'analyse couvre les étapes des origines, de la mise en œuvre initiale, de la libéralisation des prestations ainsi que les plus récentes restrictions et réorientations dont le programme de prestations d'invalidité a fait l'objet.

The French government is also depending its focus on g. e. c. Alstrom's "Pendular train", which has been criticized by the French public as the poor man's TGV. The first prototype expected to debut next year will travel at TGV speeds of 190 to 220 miles-per-hour on the special TGV lines and 140 miles-per-hour on conventional track.

La technologie pendulaire permet de compenser l'insuffisance de dévers : grâce à des cylindres hydrauliques et à des dispositifs de compensation (pendulum links), les voitures se penchent vers l'intérieur de la courbe. Ainsi, les passagers peuvent continuer à lire ou à bavarder sans renverser leur café ni s'agripper aux bras de leur fauteuil.
