Good morning, ladies.
I have great appreciation for what you're doing. First of all, I'd like to commend you. I think you are doing difficult work in a context where you have been victims of grave injustice on the part of the federal government in relation to the agent orange issue.
In 2006, I believe, before the Conservative Party came to power, the current minister, Mr. Thompson, had taken several steps in the House calling for compensation for victims of agent orange. I would like to hear what you have to say regarding the recommendations the minister made at the time for victims of agent orange.
Further, I would like to discuss medical assessments. Are doctors currently in a position to correctly and specifically determine who, among the people who have been affected, including your spouses but also your children, were victims of agent orange? There has been a rather widespread effect on families.
Third, is $20,000 in compensation enough?
