Mr. Speaker, the best history of all of this tragedy was written by Mr. Justice Krever who spent four years going through the evidence. It is clear from the chronology that 1986 was the turning point. That was the year in which the countries to whom we compare ourselves internationally, for example the United States, adopted surrogate testing. That was the turning point.
It is for that reason that all health ministers agree that the period 1986 to 1990 should be the period during which we make a distinction compared to the rest and that is the period during which compensation will be paid.
