Mr. Speaker, the government did not use those kinds of excuses when the AIDS victims were asking for compensation.
People who contracted AIDS from blood transfusions are being paid, even if they contracted AIDS before the AIDS test was implemented in 1985. The government did not use legal technicalities then.
Innocent Canadians are dying because of the government's blood system. It is a tragedy and we need to help them.
I have a very simple question. Why is this government setting up two tiers of victims in this country?
