Mr. Speaker, the government is totally insensitive to the expectations of Canadians who are demanding fair compensation for all victims of contaminated blood.
Despite this majority request, the government is setting up a system of compensation by category. Some victims will receive financial compensation and specific medical services, others will receive only medical services. This is unfair and unacceptable. As one of my constituents, Jean-Daniel Couture, put it, the government's position in this matter is absolutely disgusting.
We in the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada do not intend to give in to this irresponsible attitude. We will continue to fight in the House to ensure that all victims of hepatitis C are fully and fairly compensated.
