Thank you very much, Ms. Gladu. I truly appreciate the question.
When I became the health minister, I had the privilege and the opportunity to meet some of the recognized victims of the thalidomide compensation package that was provided, and I certainly was able to see and to hear first-hand the challenges these individuals have to go through day in and day out. Our heart certainly goes out to these survivors. Also, I had an opportunity to meet with some individuals in my riding, who have not been named survivors for the lack of a better word.
In budget 2018, I was pleased that an amount of money has been put forward to ensure that we can expand the eligibility criteria for the program. We are in the process of working on that and, within the next weeks and months, I'm truly looking forward to making an announcement on the next steps forward with the expansion of the eligibility criteria for that program.
