Mr. Speaker, slippery language will not help the hon. member opposite in terms of trying to define his particular case.
The hon. member is fully aware and has known for quite some time that the Krever commission has made an interim report. Forty-three recommendations have been made, seven of which applied to Health Canada. We have acted on the substance as well as the spirit of those recommendations.
We announced earlier this week that we would attempt to commence a consultation process with the provinces and all of the stakeholders.
I am saddened to hear the hon. member opposite not only outside the House but on the floor of the House argue that we ought to be taking action. Now we are taking action but the hon. member is standing in his place trying to politicize a very serious issue.
