Mr. Speaker, Canada's blood system has failed us again.
Mr. Joel Pinon lied about his history when he donated blood, but his lie is only part of the problem. Someone was given Mr. Pinon's blood before it was properly screened. Canadians are told that their blood system is safe but we now know it is not.
How can the health minister claim that our blood system has been fixed, when we now know that simple screening processes are being ignored?
