Mr. Speaker, when we spoke this morning he did not mention that he is not in agreement with his minister of health.
There was a discussion among all the ministers of health in Canada. They have agreed to take the responsibility for the period 1986 to 1990. The federal government has contributed $800 million toward the problem and the provinces have contributed $300 million which makes $1.1 billion. I think it is a very good compensation program that has been agreed to by the 13 governments and the agreement still stands.
