Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Health said yesterday in an interview, and I quote “We must now consider what is in the public interest”. I wonder whose interest he was considering last week. We do appreciate, however, that he is prepared to take part in a special meeting with the provinces.
A number of provinces have in fact promised to ensure that the compensation program is open to all victims of hepatitis C.
Could the minister in turn confirm that he will be attending the meeting with the commitment of the federal government to settle once and for all the fate of all the victims?
