Mr. Speaker, unfortunately the hon. member is quite correct. Issues such as this and debates such as this bring out the worst in some members. I guess, to offset that, it brings out the best in some members.
We can clearly see today by the comments which have been made and by the speeches, some great speeches, where people's hearts are on this issue.
The government can continue to display the hypocrisy it displayed in the past. It can continue to hold firm to this position of two tiered victims of tainted blood, or it can do what is right. It has the opportunity to do what is right.
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister in his speech suggested that to compensate all hepatitis C victims who got their disease from tainted blood is premature. That is what he said, not once but two or three times during his presentation. I would like him to face some of these victims, look them in the eye and tell them that it is premature.
