Mr. Speaker, the minister was not speaking as an individual when he attacked the Government of Ontario. He threatened Ontario with the power of the federal government.
This is the sort of venomous, personal attack that got the minister shuffled out of the justice portfolio into his current portfolio when he carried out his vendetta against Brian Mulroney.
I wonder is the real reason the health minister blew his stack at Mike Harris yesterday because Mike Harris has shown compassion toward hep C victims and the health minister has shown none.
