Mr. Speaker, after listening to the hon. member's question I feel sick.
They are trying to defend something which is not defendable by coming up with ludicrous ideas. What has insulin to do with this?
This was a federally-regulated body that had tests, but people got infected. Insulin was discovered. What has insulin to do with this? Did a federally-regulated body have tainted insulin given to people? Is that what he is saying?
What we are saying here is very simple. We are saying that a federally-regulated body could have stopped this infection, possibly, had the power to do it and did not do it. There was negligence.
Compensation has to be given to everybody who was infected. That is the question. The motion today is to compensate everybody infected with hepatitis C.
