Mr. Speaker, first Quebec opened the door and today Ontario has pledged to pay compensation to the pre-1986 victims of hepatitis C on the same basis as the existing package. The federal government can therefore no longer pretend that there is unanimous provincial consent for its position.
This issue is not going to be resolved by more conference calls, press releases or insults. When is the Prime Minister going to take personal responsibility for resolving this crisis by agreeing to renegotiate the compensation package?
