Mr. Speaker, the commission wants documents that pertain to why draft legislation and draft regulations that might have prevented this tragedy were not proceeded with. Those are the documents the commission wants.
In August 1984 when the current Prime Minister was Deputy Prime Minister, Health Canada scientists were sounding alarms about the dangers of AIDS and legislation was drafted that might have protected the blood supply. The warning and the legislation was ignored by both Liberal and Tory governments and tainted blood victims, their families and all Canadians deserve to know why.
Will the government dispel the appearance of a cover-up by giving Krever all the information he needs to get to the bottom of the tainted blood supply?
