Mr. Speaker, I simply want to know why this Prime Minister thinks some victims' lives are worth more than others. I want to know why he is helping some of the dying but ignoring the rest.
Tens of thousands of people who contracted hepatitis C from the blood system are now being abandoned, but every single Canadian who contracted AIDS from a blood transfusion is being fully compensated, as they should be.
Both of these groups are suffering and dying because of their blood. Why do all AIDS victims get compensation but not all hepatitis C victims?
