Mr. Speaker, in reply to the petulant and discredited health critic of the Reform Party, if he would drop his petulance and rely on the facts he would recognize that it was the federal government which sat down with the provinces and brought about the agreement which still stands, to which all the provinces, through their governments, are continuing to say that only post-1986 victims should be compensated. While the federal government put on the table $800 million, the provinces admitted their own responsibility and put $300 million on the table.
Those are the facts and the critic's petulance will not change anything, no matter what the tone of his questions may be.
