Mr. Speaker, the health minister says the facts were wrong in this report. The U.S. made it illegal to use hep C tainted blood in September 1991. I have the directive from the health protection branch here. It was in fact issued November 15, 1991, and it said “effective January 1, 1993, you cannot use the blood”. The facts are straightforward.
Why did we continue to use dirty blood for that period of time?
