1)  Grammatical error.  Once is feminine, hence it should be "once liquide"

2) The (Canadian Weights and Measures Act) does not use the term "once
liquide" but rather "once fluide".

3)  Volume must be expressed in a metric unit.  A supplementary expression
in Canadian (i.e. imperial) units is permissible
