French term

commodites d'achat

les nouvelles responsabilites de commodites d'achat.

Whereis? Isabelle Lapierre? It would be nice to know her opinion this one for sure, as she is a native Quebecois.

Comment #2 I actually put _purchasing services_ in there temporarily.
Non-ProZ.com Aug 22, 2003:
comment #1 I think it is commodities, they seem to adopt many English terms in Canada. Not the loo, as they say in BE.

purchase facilities

as in, services, credit facilities, payment terms.
I checked meaning usage on Google and this is the meaning that it conveys:

"Etant donné les petites surfaces cultivées (5 à 10 ha de céréales par exploitation), le paysan n'a que peu d'intérêts à faire ses propres semences, d'autant plus que la coopérative lui fournit des commodités d'achat et que les prix sont peu différenciés."
