Dans les premier et troisième processus [par lesquels est soulevée une question de privilège], on fait une nette distinction entre une question de privilège – «Allégation selon laquelle atteinte a été portée aux privilèges du Sénat ou des sénateurs […]» – et un cas de privilège – «Une affaire jugée bien-fondée à première vue dans une décision du Président suite à une question de privilège soulevée…». 2, record 1, French, - cas%20de%20privil%C3%A8ge

Employé au pluriel, «appartements» désigne un ensemble de pièces dans une demeure luxueuse, ce qui correspond davantage au contexte actuel que l’acception du terme au singulier, qui, selon le Lexis, est un «local d’habitation, composé de plusieurs pièces contiguës, dans un immeuble qui comporte plusieurs de ces locaux». 3, record 2, French, - appartements%20du%20Pr%C3%A9sident%20du%20S%C3%A9nat

Bien que l’usage français préconise l’emploi de la minuscule pour les titres de poste, la majuscule à Président et à Présidente est obligatoire dans les documents concernant les délibérations parlementaires, car elle permet de faire la distinction entre le Président du Sénat et les présidents des comités. 3, record 2, French, - appartements%20du%20Pr%C3%A9sident%20du%20S%C3%A9nat
