Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada. The Business Mission Agreement (BMA) is being used and promoted and all officers understand its purpose. There has been one instance where the client-partner declined to sign a BMA and the Mission has been encouraged to ask the Post Support Unit (PSU) to intervene when such obstacles occur. The Mission should be commended for setting out an annual list of targeted out- calls. 1, record 1, English, - Business%20Mission%20Agreement

On a recensé un seul cas où le client-partenaire a refusé de signer une EMA, et on a conseillé à la mission de demander à l'Unité d'appui aux postes (UAP) d'intervenir lorsque de tels obstacles surviennent.

Dans le cas présent, il s'agit bel et bien d'une allocation au sens d'une chose allouée pour un emploi déterminé (généralement une somme d'argent) et non d'une indemnité. Les dictionnaires établissent une distinction entre ces deux termes qui, de plus, sont habituellement suivis des prépositions «de» ou «d'» quand une allocation ou une indemnité donnée est énoncée. 5, record 2, French, - allocation%20entre%20les%20repas

The Association was founded, as the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association, in Worcester in 1832 by Dr (later Sir) Charles Hastings. There was no regulation of the profession at this time and anyone whether qualified or not, could practise as a doctor. The Association lobbied for a regulatory body and this led to the setting up of the General Medical Council in 1858. The Association also campaigned on behalf of doctors providing medical care under the Poor Laws and on other issues. 1, record 3, English, - British%20Medical%20Association
