Mr. Speaker, as the leader of the party knows, there is a working group in place which is meeting this very week in Edmonton with representatives of the Hepatitis C Society and others to examine a whole range of options available to better deal with the interests of all those who acquired hepatitis C through the blood system. I think it is best for us to let them get on with their work so we can approach a solution with a national consensus.
