Mr. Speaker, let me make my position clear again: compensation for every victim. This is quite different from the Deputy Prime Minister.
This is the headline the health minister hopes to take out of this meeting: “Oh, we couldn't reach a consensus. The provinces are at fault”.
If this federal government had taken a powerful position into these meetings, if it had gone in there as leaders, we would have a solution to this.
Why has this federal government been followers instead of leaders?
