Mr. Speaker, my question is addressed to the Minister of Health.
The Minister stated in this House, on February 3, March 23 and April 26, 1994, that the request for additional financial resources for the Krever Commission and for the Canadian Hemophilia Society was being considered by the Treasury Board. She also stated on April 26, 1994, and I quote: "The people who wish to take part in this inquiry have the right, as well as the funding they need, to appear before the Commission."
How can the Minister state that everyone who wishes to can have access to the work of the Commission when the Canadian Hemophilia Society had to lay off a third of its employees and no longer has the financial resources to send an expert to defend its members before this Commission?
