A bill before Parliament, which is general application and, therefore, a public bill, but which, in its application, especially affects private or local [interests]. 2, record 1, English, - hybrid%20bill
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Bills that appear to be both public and private in nature are referred to as hybrid bills. While British parliamentary practice makes allowance for this type of bill, Canadian parliamentary procedure requires that all bills be designated either as public bills or as private bills. When a single bill incorporates both private and public considerations, it is dealt with as a public bill. 3, record 1, English, - hybrid%20bill

Les projets de loi qui se réclament à la fois des domaines public et privé sont dits hybrides ou mixtes. Bien que l'usage parlementaire britannique reconnaisse ce type de projet de loi, la procédure parlementaire canadienne, pour sa part, exige que tous les projets de loi soient désignés soit d'intérêt public, soit d'intérêt privé. Les projets de loi qui réunissent à la fois des considérations d'ordre public et privé sont traités comme des projets de loi d'intérêt public. 3, record 1, French, - projet%20de%20loi%20hybride

Un proyecto de ley híbrido incluye disposiciones que afectan a los intereses de determinadas personas. También trata asuntos de interés público nacional. Por eso recibe el tratamiento de un proyecto de ley típico en la mayoría de sus partes, pero se comporta como un proyecto presentado por otro grupo parlamentario en parte de su paso por la Cámara, lo que permite a las personas específicamente afectadas que eleven sus objeciones. 1, record 1, Spanish, - proyecto%20de%20ley%20h%C3%ADbrido

Record number: 7, Textual support number: 2 CONT
On less steep tundra slopes, ice-rich permafrost is commonly insulated from thaw by stable, vegetated regolith. If sudden slippage of regolith occurs, exposure of the permafrost may lead to seasonal retrogression or failure. Alternatively, deeper penetration of thaw into the permafrost itself may induce rapid slippage in which the surface regolith is passively rafted away by failure of the thawed, ice-rich material below. ... Such rapid failure of the active layer are commonly referred to as skin flows. 4, record 7, English, - skin%20flow
