Mr. Speaker, it is surprising how the government relies solely on the CBC to deal with such a serious problem as hepatitis C.
The health minister has insulted hepatitis C victims by comparing their tragic situation to random medical accidents. He pretends there is no moral difference between being negligently poisoned by the government and suffering a random medical mishap.
These hepatitis C victims did not suffer an accident. They suffered a cruel government decision. It is government policy that infected them, not fate.
He is a lawyer. Can he not see the difference?
