Mr. Speaker, what the hon. member obviously does not know is that I have met with those victims. I have met with several of the people he has referred to. I have met with them on more than one occasion. Last week, as I said, I spoke to them directly to tell them what the decision of the governments was.
Last week every government in this country agreed on the appropriate approach in public policy to compensate those who were infected during the period when governments could have acted and did not. That is an appropriate and responsible approach.
