Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is a member of a very distinguished profession. When the hon. member makes that kind of accusation on the floor of the House of Commons he lends absolutely nothing to the substantive debate as it relates to this country's blood system.
The accusations of that member and of the Reform Party are absolutely false and unqualified. The hon. member knows no one is trying to hamper what Justice Krever may or may not say.
The Attorney General of Canada has a fiduciary obligation and a statutory obligation to ensure procedural fairness and the rules of natural justice apply to each and every citizen. That is the fact and the hon. member ought to acknowledge that.
