Mr. Speaker, Canadians are begging for some leadership from this government and they have not seen leadership on this file now for over four weeks. The Ontario government has changed its position. The government, instead of coming alongside and saying it will work with it, is just muddying the waters and saying it will look into it.
Back when Mr. Trudeau was Prime Minister, a Red Cross researcher named Dr. Moore called for testing of the blood supply. Other countries were doing it and for nine years the Liberal government of the day chose to ignore them.
Is it not true that the real reason the Prime Minister will not compensate victims in the pre-1986 period is that he does not want the Liberal government of the day implicated in this tragedy? Is that not the truth?
