Mr. Speaker, this issue is much too serious for crass partisan politics. He knows full well this government has put more than $1.3 billion in this issue and $800 million to settle class action lawsuits. We believe that people need care. We put $300 million and offered to do our share with the provinces to make sure that over the course of their lives, people who have been infected with hepatitis C will get the care they need.
In the House of Commons on November 26th, 1998. See this statement in context.
