Maybe it's a question of going back to these guidelines, which we talked about earlier, and seeing how they can perhaps be streamlined or simplified to provide a less work-intensive environment, perhaps, so we can do more things quicker in terms of clearing requests. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"743884\" data-originallang=\"en\">But I haven't thought about what legislative changes would be required. I'd be pleased to give it some thought and to provide some advice, if you're still interested, in a week or two.</p>",

Peut-\u00eatre faudra-t-il revenir \u00e0 ces lignes directrices, dont nous avons parl\u00e9 tout \u00e0 l'heure, et voir comment elles peuvent \u00eatre rationalis\u00e9es ou simplifi\u00e9es pour cr\u00e9er un environnement moins lourd, pour faire plus, plus rapidement, pour r\u00e9pondre aux demandes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"743884\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je n'ai pas r\u00e9fl\u00e9chi aux changements qu'il faudrait apporter \u00e0 la loi.
