Mr. Speaker, the matter of hepatitis C has been before the House and the Canadian public daily for six weeks.
The Canadian consensus is clear, fair compensation for all. What other options are left for the minister to consider?
Yesterday the minister did a great disservice to blood injured Canadians by not bringing a position to the table.
Today could the minister tell all Canadians what is the position of the federal government? Is there new money on the table for compensation, yes or no? Does the government support the principle of fair compensation for all hepatitis C victims, yes or no?
