It doesn't say where, how far, or for how much time. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"718503\" data-originallang=\"en\">Controlled substances are in schedules 1 through 5, and schedule 4 drugs include steroids. If you had a corticosteroid on your skin for a skin condition, you would technically come within the reach of this provision. The police officer would be fully entitled to ask you to do the test and accompany him or her for whatever the other tests might be. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"718504\" data-originallang=\"en\">Should we consider amending the bill to either shrink the reach of this section in terms of accompanying the police officer, or should we remove schedule 4 or modify it in some other way?</p>",

L'Annexe 4 inclut certains st\u00e9ro\u00efdes. Si vous utilisez des corticost\u00e9ro\u00efdes pour traiter par exemple un probl\u00e8me de peau, vous seriez en th\u00e9orie assujetti \u00e0 ces dispositions. Le policier serait tout \u00e0 fait autoris\u00e9 de vous demander d'effectuer un premier test et de le suivre pour qu'il puisse proc\u00e9der \u00e0 d'autres tests. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"718504\" data-originallang=\"en\">Devrions-nous envisager de modifier le projet de loi pour limiter la port\u00e9e de ces dispositions en ce qui concerne l'obligation de suivre le policier ou devrions-nous \u00e9liminer l'Annexe 4 ou bien la modifier?</p>"
