Mr. Speaker, I cannot believe what I just heard. The Liberals themselves purposely moved this whole debate away from the issue of compensation. It was the cabinet ministers, the Minister of Health and the House leader, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Prime Minister who purposely moved this away from a compensation issue to hep C victims to a political issue. That is what happened.
We do have a full understanding that the Krever commission sanctioned and created by the Liberal government reported that all hepatitis C victims should be compensated. The government said it was going to accept that report only if it liked it.
