Mr. Speaker, Mr. Justice Krever did his job. He was speaking about just the blood system. He made his recommendations. Then it was up to governments to do their job, to take responsibility for making decisions about the health system in general.
I have explained to this House and to the public of Canada the basis on which we proceeded. The distinction between this and the other cases referred to by the hon. member is that in those cases they proceeded on the wrong principle. Here we are proceeding on a rational analysis, a basis of principle which will remain a distinction justified by the facts. It is a distinction with which I believe the Canadian people will agree.
