Those who employ a sacrifice relevant question generally do so on the assumption that the first relevant question in a series will produce a significant physiological response regardless of whether the examinee is truthful or deceptive to the relevant issue. For that reason, it is accepted dogma that response data to the first relevant question should be "sacrificed" because that question introduces the examinee to the issue under investigation in preparation for subsequent relevant questions ... 2, record 2, English, - sacrifice%20relevant%20question

C’est pourquoi l’on admet que, par rapport aux questions pertinentes, l’innocent a des réactions physiologiques plus prononcées lorsqu’on lui pose des questions de comparaison. Le scénario est totalement inversé s’il s’agit d’un coupable. Celui-ci se sent plus menacé par les questions pertinentes que par les questions de comparaison.

Extracts from the Federal Heritage Buildings Policy. (Parks Canada). Designation of Federal Heritage Buildings. All federal buildings 40 years old or older for which alteration, demolition, or disposal are planned must be identified and referred to the Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office (FHBRO) for evaluation, in order to determine if the buildings have heritage value. Also to be evaluated are buildings 40 years old or older whose acquisition is being contemplated. The Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office will evaluate the identified buildings to determine if they merit heritage designation. Parks Canada will prepare research that addresses historical, architectural and environmental criteria, as well as any other relevant information, as a basis for this evaluation. A building evaluated as a heritage building will be recommended for designation as a "classified" or as a "recognized" federal heritage building. A classified building is the higher of these two designations. The Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office will convey the recommended designation (classified or recognized) to the custodial department. The recommendation will be accompanied by a statement of heritage character. A federal building which has been designated under this policy will be entered in the Register of Federal Heritage Buildings, along with a statement of its heritage character. 2, record 5, English, - statement%20of%20heritage%20character
