Law: Contract(s)
I always find the expression to be confusing. Here, it appears in a Canadian government contract for one governmental agency to provide financing for services to be provided by another government agency.
Here is the sentence:
Les coûts de l'administration sont remboursés au AGENCY X ****à même****** les sommes prévues à cet fin dans l'Accord, jusqu'à concurrence de $XXXXXXX.
Any suggestions, explanation for this term would be most appreciated.
Thanks

"à même" simply means "directly from".
