        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2629744\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Chair, what is needed to make it uncomplicated is a registry of some kind. Then we would know how many people need organs and what types of organs are needed. It should be a registry that is linked to all the ICUs in the emergency rooms across the country so that we can find a donor. That is the simple thing to do.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2629745\" data-originallang=\"en\">When we talk about provincial jurisdictions, we should remember that it was a conference of federal, provincial and territorial deputy ministers of health in 2001 that set up the existing Canadian Council for Donation and Transplantation as a national organ donation oversight agency. They put $35 million over five years into it. The structure is already there; now we have to give it teeth, because it is obviously not working very well. I think it is very important that we have a conference of the deputy ministers of health right away to talk about putting some teeth into what is an already funded and existing structure. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2629746\" data-originallang=\"en\">Given that B.C. and Ontario have driver's licence and organ donation cards, we can look at how to mandate the fact that if I sign my organ donation card as well as my licence and have an accident, then automatically that organ is put into the system. We would not have to go families to get them to okay this, as it would have already been okayed.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2629744\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la pr\u00e9sidente, pour simplifier le syst\u00e8me, il faudrait mettre en place une sorte de registre. On saurait ainsi combien de personnes ont besoin d'organes, et de quels types. Ce registre devrait \u00eatre reli\u00e9 \u00e0 toutes les unit\u00e9s de soins intensifs des urgences du pays afin que nous puissions trouver des donneurs. C'est la chose simple \u00e0 faire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2629745\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour ce qui est des champs de comp\u00e9tence des provinces, il faudrait se rappeler que c'est \u00e0 une conf\u00e9rence f\u00e9d\u00e9rale-provinciale-territoriale des sous-ministres de la Sant\u00e9, en 2001, qu'on a mis sur pied l'actuel Conseil canadien pour le don et la transplantation, l'organisme national de surveillance des dons d'organes. Pendant une p\u00e9riode de cinq ans, on a investi 35 millions de dollars dans cet organisme. Il faut solidifier la structure existante, car, de toute \u00e9vidence, elle ne fonctionne pas tr\u00e8s bien. Je pense qu'il est important de tenir dans les plus brefs d\u00e9lais une conf\u00e9rence des sous-ministres de la Sant\u00e9 afin que l'on puisse solidifier une structure qui est d\u00e9j\u00e0 financ\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2629746\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c9tant donn\u00e9 qu'en Colombie-Britannique et en Ontario, le permis de conduire contient une carte de don d'organes, il faudrait s'assurer qu'en cas d'accident, la carte de don d'organes sign\u00e9e permet l'inscription automatique des organes dans le syst\u00e8me. Il ne serait alors pas n\u00e9cessaire d'obtenir l'autorisation de la famille puisque la carte serait sign\u00e9e.</p>"
