Mr. Speaker, it is a good thing the minister never read that article before the ice storm in January and the Red River flood.
The health minister says the government is not liable for infecting those victims before 1986. He believes it was an unforeseen tragedy. In the last budget the government set up a $3 billion contingency fund precisely for needs unforeseen by the government.
Why is this minister saying that his compensation plan is the best that can be done?
