That will not be necessary, Mr. Chair, because the number is between 5,000 and 6,000 people.
If we take the 7,300 which the minister has identified between 1986 and 1990'90 and take those 5,000 to 6,000, it is easy to see that the numbers of victims totally in Canada are somewhere between 10,000 and 12,000.
There is $900 million left in the compensation fund. The minister says that the disease may get worse in the future and that is true for a small proportion of people. However $900 million will take care of plenty of those problems.
Could not that money or a large portion of it be used to compensate those outside 1986 to 1990?
