Could you report to us in the next few weeks on the status of the situation? Parliament will have completed its business within two weeks. The tainted blood victims are disappointed that we're not giving them a clear answer today. We're in politics, and it's up to you to give an answer. A limit has to be set on the negotiations because they can go on forever. A political decision should be made and it should be determined that the negotiations will have to be completed on a specific date. We agree on the fact that we're going to compensate the victims. How much money remains in the fund? We have to answer that today. How much money is left? How many victims are there? Regardless of whether there are 5,000 or 6,000, we have to establish a limit and state that we have to agree and proceed as soon as possible before the House of Commons rises.
