Mr. Speaker, we have one province that has put its money where its mouth is, as asked by the Prime Minister of Canada. That province is willing to help those who are sick through no fault of their own.
Now we also have a former senior official from the Department of Health, Dr. Brill-Edwards, who has stated “If the federal government had been doing its job safeguarding the blood supply, then the huge numbers of people suffering and dying simply would not be there”.
Why will the government not take the stand today, do its job and compensate all hep C victims?
