However, the demand for such types of vehicles for rental purposes is still at an early stage. We are encouraging employees on official government business travel to rent such vehicles wherever available and practical. Should this not be possible or practical, employees may wish to consider selecting other types of vehicles with reported lower emissions when selecting a rental vehicle. For your convenience and ease of reference, we have included in the Preface a listing of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, using data supplied by Natural Resources Canada, for various types of vehicles.

2.2 Official Languages

Canadian companies are encouraged to provide services in both official languages.

3. post lower rates on their own web site which can be linked to the Car Rental.

If the Offeror offers lower rates at the time of reservation or registration, other than those that are part of the Standing Offer, the rest of the Terms and Conditions of this Standing Offer must still apply.

(b) Non-commissionable Rates

The rates quoted are non-commissionable. Rates are free of the normal commission paid to travel agents for booking reservations. Any other fees or costs incurred by the car rental company pertaining to such reservations are outside the terms of this Standing Offer.

3.3 Cost Reimbursable Contractors and Other Travelers

Some Offerors have agreed to extend their government rates to cost reimbursable contractors, consultants or advisors working under contract to an Identified User and traveling on official government business in performance of that contract. Identified users are advised to provide cost reimbursable contractors, consultants or advisors with a letter, specifying the duration of their contract or specifying that they are on travel status on behalf of the government and their destination. Unless such identification is provided, such travelers may not be eligible to receive government rates listed in the Directory. Car rental companies that have agreed to extend their rates to cost reimbursable contractors, consultants or advisors will have this information displayed in the Directory under "Services Offered".
