Mr. Speaker, the government thinks it has a dozen ways to wash these stains from its hands. The Prime Minister blames the provinces. The Prime Minister compares the victims to cigarette addicts and junkies using dirty needles. The Prime Minister uses party discipline to force his own Liberal MPs to vote against the victims.
However, there is only one way for the government to wash this stain from its record and this is its last chance before parliament rises. Will the government agree to compensate all victims of hepatitis C just as Justice Krever recommended?
