Could I ask you to back up for a minute? Canadians who are watching will be finding themselves, periodically through this committee and other conversations, in acronym land. We're talking about the DND, the CDS, PMO and PCO.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6604077\" data-originallang=\"en\">What is the PCO, and why is it so important to have an independent, professional, impartial organization, a central policy-planning agency, at this moment in the midst of an important question and investigation going forward?</p>",

Bagnell, pour souligner que c'est la Journ\u00e9e lavande, qui vise \u00e0 redoubler nos efforts de sensibilisation \u00e0 l'\u00e9pilepsie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6604075\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais remercier nos deux t\u00e9moins, Mme Sherman et le colonel Boland, pour leur service et leur pr\u00e9sence aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6604076\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame Sherman, j'ai eu le privil\u00e8ge de servir au BCP au cours de ma carri\u00e8re. Puis-je vous demander de revenir en arri\u00e8re un instant? Les Canadiens qui nous regardent se retrouvent p\u00e9riodiquement submerg\u00e9s d'acronymes \u00e0 notre comit\u00e9 ou lors d'autres conversations. Nous parlons du MDN, du CEMD, du CPM et du BCP.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6604077\" data-originallang=\"en\"> En quoi consiste le BCP? En ce moment, pourquoi est-il si important d'avoir une organisation ind\u00e9pendante, professionnelle et impartiale, et un organisme central de planification des politiques, dans le contexte de l'enjeu important et de l'enqu\u00eate \u00e0 venir?</p>"
