Thank you, Minister.
Minister, the chair of this committee was a health critic for the opposition for many years. I had a little stint in that position. One thing the Conservative Party championed during its entire time in opposition was the compensation for hepatitis C victims from tainted blood. Every time we asked the question, we were told they would not be compensated, and at the end, the Liberals just out and out disappointed, to put it mildly.
I'm trying to follow your example of statesmanship, Mr. Minister.
