Mr. Speaker, I want to read another quote from hepatitis C victims: “I don't think that those claimants should have to spend their lifetime in litigation”. I will read it again: “I don't think that those claimants should have to spend their lifetime in litigation”. Who said that? It was not Premier Clark. It was not a Liberal backbencher. It was the Minister of Health in the Ottawa Citizen on November 23, 1997.
Why did this health minister abandon his own principles?
