Mr. Speaker, the Deputy Prime Minister, the House leader and the health minister all know that this is not a confidence vote.
This is a vote about whether or not every victim of hepatitis C from tainted blood should receive fair and just compensation. I can hardly believe that they will hang their whole process on a vote of confidence.
Nobody, not a single party in the House, will treat this as a confidence motion. I have given the government my personal guarantee of that.
Why then shall the government cause this to be a confidence motion?
