As a last question, on this issue of blood for profit, can I very briefly read from the very first sentence of Justice Krever's report? He says it's his “account...of a public health disaster that was unprecedented in Canada and, if we have learned from it, one that will never occur again”.
That disaster involved 20,000 lives lost and $5 billion in compensation. Yet I got news this morning regarding the construction of a third blood-for-profit shop being built in Ontario. I'm very concerned that this government is not doing something to stop the undermining of our current volunteer blood services system in this country.
