Mr. Speaker, in this context, I want to remind the member what the Government of Canada has done.
We have committed $1.3 billion for those who have contracted hepatitis C through the blood system; $800 million with the provinces to settle the class action lawsuit; $300 million to share the cost of medical services not covered by insurance for those who got the disease at any time; $125 million to strengthen the regulation of the blood system following on the recommendations of Mr. Justice Krever; $50 million for research; and $50 million for trace back programs.
We have taken our responsibilities very seriously. We have done what is right in the interests of those who have this disease.
