I'm sure the dentist didn't draw it up. It was drawn up by Ms. Nelson. That's a serious issue, because I don't think\u2014and I'm looking at all of you, maybe not the pharmaceutical people, but certainly the medical and the dental people\u2014the average person who reads that sort of thing has a clue what they've signed. The dentist or the doctor says, \u201cHere, this is something new that the government has come up with; we have to comply with this rule, so just sign right here\u201d, and you see two pages of legalese and it's very complicated.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"387914\" data-originallang=\"en\">Is there a way to make these consents that the dentists and the doctors are sticking in front of their patients more user-friendly?</p>",

Je suis certain que ce n'est pas le dentiste qui l'avait r\u00e9dig\u00e9. Ce document a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9dig\u00e9 par Mme Nelson. C'est un probl\u00e8me s\u00e9rieux, car je ne pense pas \u2014 et je vous regarde tous ici, peut-\u00eatre pas les pharmaciens, mais certainement les m\u00e9decins et les dentistes \u2014 que la personne moyenne qui lit ce genre de chose ne comprenne un tra\u00eetre mot de ce qu'elle a sign\u00e9. Le dentiste ou le m\u00e9decin vous dira : \u00ab Voici, il y a ici quelque chose de nouveau que le gouvernement a \u00e9tabli; nous devons respecter cette r\u00e8gle, vous n'avez qu'\u00e0 signer ici \u00bb, et vous voyez deux pages de termes juridiques tr\u00e8s compliqu\u00e9s. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"387914\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourrait-on voir \u00e0 ce que ces consentements que les m\u00e9decins et dentistes demandent \u00e0 leurs patients soient plus conviviaux?</p>"
