"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"905990\" data-originallang=\"en\">Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"905991\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to address the issue of our changed venue. We were originally scheduled to be in room 112 North in the Centre Block, but I understand there was some sort of situation going on with a filibuster in procedure and House affairs. That's how we wound up here. At any rate, there was some fancy footwork, and I imagine we'll have a few more members straggling in as a result of that. We shall see. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"905992\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am going to introduce our witnesses, and they'll have a chance to present. After that, I wish to inform the committee of a victory of sorts at the Liaison Committee. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"905993\" data-originallang=\"en\">For our continuing study of the veterans health care review and the veterans independence program, our witnesses today are from the Canadian National Institute for the Blind--Catherine Moore, national director of consumer and government relations, and Bernard Nunan, a researcher-writer at the CNIB national office here in Ottawa.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"905994\" data-originallang=\"en\">I presume the clerk has told you that you have 20 minutes. You can split that up as you see fit. One can take 20, both can take 10--again, as you see fit. We're generally pretty accommodating and flexible for witnesses. After the presentation we'll move to a far more rigid formula for members asking questions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"905995\" data-originallang=\"en\">With that, the floor is yours.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"905990\" data-originallang=\"en\">Bonjour, mesdames et messieurs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"905991\" data-originallang=\"en\"> J'aimerais faire une remarque au sujet du changement de salle. Nous devions au d\u00e9part nous r\u00e9unir dans la pi\u00e8ce 112-Nord, situ\u00e9e dans l'\u00e9difice du Centre, mais je crois comprendre qu'il y avait un probl\u00e8me d'obstruction au comit\u00e9 de la proc\u00e9dure et des affaires de la Chambre. Nous nous sommes donc retrouv\u00e9s ici. Quoi qu'il en soit, il y a eu pas mal de va-et-vient, et j'imagine que pour cette raison, quelques d\u00e9put\u00e9s arriveront un peu plus tard. On verra.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"905992\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vais pr\u00e9senter nos t\u00e9moins, qui auront la possibilit\u00e9 de se pr\u00e9senter \u00e0 leur tour. Apr\u00e8s cela, je vous ferai part d'une certaine victoire remport\u00e9e par le Comit\u00e9 de liaison. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"905993\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous allons poursuivre l'examen des soins de sant\u00e9 des anciens combattants et du programme pour l'autonomie des anciens combattants; nos t\u00e9moins, aujourd'hui, viennent de l'Institut national canadien pour les aveugles (INCA) \u2014 Catherine Moore, directrice nationale, Relations gouvernementales et avec les consommateurs, et Bernard Nunan, recherchiste, r\u00e9dacteur, au bureau national de l'INCA ici, \u00e0 Ottawa. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"905994\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suppose que le greffier vous a dit que vous disposiez de vingt minutes. L'un de vous deux peut les prendre toutes ou partager ce temps avec l'autre \u2014 c'est \u00e0 vous de voir. Nous sommes g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement assez accommodants et assez souples en ce qui concerne les t\u00e9moins. Apr\u00e8s l'expos\u00e9, nous passerons \u00e0 une formule beaucoup plus rigide pour les questions des d\u00e9put\u00e9s. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"905995\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela dit, vous avez la parole.</p>"
