Part of that criteria included producing documentation, a prescription for thalidomide at that time, or a doctor testifying to that effect. I know in the case of Mr. Bolton, because it's so many years ago, he does not have the ability to get a prescription because the doctor has long passed away. There were fires at the various pharmacies in Gananoque, his hometown, so there is no record of these.
What we've been asking for is an in-person interview. I do not believe that an in-person interview was part of that process because we've already heard today from Mr. Johnson that there is a high degree of confidence that if a person was born in that period of time, and thalidomide was available, and if they have phocomelia, their mothers were in fact likely to have taken thalidomide, whether it be a sample drug or other case where there's an inability to produce those prescriptions.
Why has there not been an in-person interview to see if those people who have been denied compensation could have met that criteria if they were able to produce those documents? Obviously, it's going to be impossible. These people have lived a lifetime, really, of discrimination, of pain and suffering, yet because they can't produce a prescription they're not going to be compensated.
Why has there not been an in-person interview of those people?
