Mr. Speaker, there are provinces that disagree with the federal government on the matter of compensation.
Justice Krever, who was appointed by the federal government to conduct the inquiry, also seems to disagree. In his final report, he indicated that, in his opinion, providing compensation to some victims but not to others would be unjustifiable.
Is the Minister of Health prepared to defend the federal government's position, which neither the provinces nor Justice Krever support?
