Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health.
In January, Mr. Justice Krever, who is in charge of the tainted-blood inquiry, said that he did not have sufficient funds and resources to carry out his mandate. Questioned by the Official Opposition, the Minister of Health said that a request for additional funds had been presented and was being considered by Treasury Board.
Can the Minister tell us if Treasury Board has finally made a decision on this request for additional funds?
