Since 2008, the law allows to make these declarations before the commune.<\/p>\n<p>According to numbers compiled by Health minister Laurette Onkelinx, cited by Mrs Sleurs, some 40,000 people, 62% of them women, have already filled out such a declaration. Five years after the act came into effect in this system, they must start to confirm them.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid what she considers a painful administrative procedure, Elke Sleurs proposes de double the validity date of the declarations which will have to be renewed after ten years, a delay that she deems more adequate to verify if the person has not had a change of opinion.<\/p>\n<h3>Comments: How can we learn from the Belgian experience?<\/h3>\n<p>1) Under the pretext of a \"painful\" administrative procedure and only five years after the putting in place of such a procedure... Belgian senators want to extend to 10 years the validity of the anticipated declarations.<\/p>\n<p>2) Let us imagine that such a law came into effect in Quebec...<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the concepts, let's face reality...<\/p>\n<p>If in Quebec 40 000 people filled out an anticipated request multiplied by 100$ per request (on average). Isn't that a good way for certain notaries and lawyers to make a profit? And if the person changed their mind?
