Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health. Johanne McDuff's book published in French under the title Le sang qui tue presents damning information about the events in the early 1980s which led to the contaminated blood tragedy. Several hundred hemophiliacs contracted the AIDS virus as a result of incomprehensible stalling and irrational acts on the part of federal authorities.
Given the overwhelmingly negative report by the expert working group attached to the Krever Commission and the facts presented in Johannne McDuff's book, does the minister intend to take immediate and concrete measures to avoid repeating the errors of the past?
