Mr. Speaker, National AIDS Awareness Week draws our attention to the most threatening epidemic in the history of mankind.
During this week we must remember the victims of AIDS. Those infected by HIV are victims. Those who have lost loved ones are victims. Those who support the health care system with our taxes are victims. We are all victims of this terrible human scourge.
We must also turn our thoughts to the dedicated work of the health care professionals, hospital workers, care givers and volunteers who seek to slow the onslaught of the damage caused by AIDS.
I call on my fellow MPs to support all efforts to find a solution to this most important human concern.
