Mr. Speaker, 66 year old Laurette Sylvester from my riding writes “In 1981 I had a lung removed and had a blood transfusion and was infected with hepatitis C. All I am asking for is just and fair compensation”.
Unfortunately there is nothing new for Laurette Sylvester today, not one thin dime. The government speaks of Canada pension plan disability benefits and home care benefits. Those are available now.
I want to know and Canadians want to know when the government will give equal and fair compensation to all hepatitis C victims?
