Mr. Speaker, I categorically deny the claim of the hon. member. In fact, the former minister of health, who could shed some light on the situation, stated publicly that she would be very happy to testify before the Krever commission.
Unfortunately, the commission's counsel made a decision not to call any previous ministers. I would advise the hon. member that if he is quite serious about getting to the bottom of the matter, he might advise the commission to rethink its decision not to call any ministers to testify before the inquiry.
