Mr. Speaker, I agree—and this is probably the only thing we agree on—that this is not a partisan issue.
The fact is that the only reason the minister is using the U.S. model is because it is a model of convenience. That model of convenience allows him to fit within the timeframe of 1986 and 1990, therefore leaving out 40,000 innocent victims.
He is talking about fairness. I want those 40,000 victims compensated. It is as simple as that. He has the constitutional and moral responsibility to do that. Will he act?
