En vertu d’une nouvelle formule de plafonnement tarifaire approuvée par le gouvernement fédéral en décembre 1998, les majorations tarifaires, s’il y a lieu, entrent en vigueur le 1er janvier et n’excèdent pas les deux-tiers du taux d’inflation, explique Postes Canada [...] 2, record 1, French, - formule%20de%20plafonnement%20du%20tarif

formule de plafonnement du tarif : Expression dans la lettre de décision que Postes Canada a reçue du Conseil du Trésor en 1998. Comme la formule ne s’applique qu'au tarif de base des lettres du régime intérieur, il est logique que ce soit «du tarif» au lieu «des tarifs». 1, record 1, French, - formule%20de%20plafonnement%20du%20tarif
