I heard you out, now you hear me out.
How dare you second-guess my department, which has made it absolutely clear that they did not know. If you have one scintilla of evidence that they knew something, you provide it. Otherwise, I suggest you keep your accusations to yourself.
My department acted forthrightly and quickly, in lightning speed. I put it to you that they did so because they believe in the health and safety of Canadians. I'd resign the second I felt that I let Canadians down, but I can tell you I've had e-mails and letters from people around the country who said that we acted quickly. They had a friend, a relative, or a neighbour who was in dire need of radioisotopes, and we did the right thing to help the health and safety of Canadians. Those are the people I listen to, and if they told me to resign, I'd resign. But I'm not going to resign because you think you could do a better job.
I've been through this as the Minister of Health for five years, and I can tell you that every time there's a situation like this the opposition demands the resignation of the health minister. I think it's disgusting, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
