disposition
Title of the Legislative Text
Federal Real Property Act, S.C. 1991, c. 50 (title changed to Federal Real Property and Federal Immovables Act by the Federal Law-Civil Law Harmonization Act, No. 1, S.C. 2001, c. 4, s. 10)
Provision
16. (1) ... the Governor in Council may ...
- (a) authorize the sale, lease or other disposition of any federal real property ....
Problem
The terminology used here creates a disparity between linguistic versions. Aliénation, which includes
"sale"/vente, is a narrower concept already included in the concept of
"disposition"found in the English version. In the French version, disposition is a broader concept that already includes the concept of aliénation.
Solution
In the English version, the term
"sale"is withdrawn. In the French version, the terms vente and ou autre forme d'aliénation are replaced by the term disposition.
