Mr. Speaker, the news just does not seem to get any better for the Minister of Health, does it?
The minister has stood in this House for the last five weeks and talked about an arbitrary cut-off date of 1986. Reports now are that federal regulators were aware as early as 1981 that in fact there was a problem with the system. The Krever report says compensate all the hepatitis C victims.
Will the minister finally accept responsibility to compensate all the victims and stop hiding behind the provinces?
