Mr. Speaker, the only spinning I can see from here is the hon. member trying to distance himself from his colleague from Macleod.
What we have done is to take the simple position. If we compensate people because they become ill, we will no longer be able to have a public health care system in Canada.
We have offered compensation for the period of time during which governments were at fault. The Red Cross and governments should have acted and did not. That is the principle, a principle with which the member for Macleod apparently agrees.
