Mr. Speaker, 13 ministers of health, including those from Saskatchewan and British Columbia, took into account what the Krever commission had recommended. We took into account the need for compassion but also faced up to our responsibilities as ministers of governments who have to make the right decision.
In all those circumstances for the reasons that were explained on Friday and developed here in the House today in response to other questions asked, we chose to proceed as we did. It is noteworthy that all governments in Canada acted together in making that decision.
