Mr. Speaker, the government seems to have learned nothing from the lessons of the past.
Its attitude of indifference to tainted water is no different than its attitude to tainted blood. It cannot even keep its commitments to the victims of hepatitis C. It has been two years, two months and twenty days since the government made its limited compensation offer. To this moment, not a penny has flowed and victims are getting sicker and weaker and many are dying.
Since we are almost at Canada Day, a day of national pride, will the minister undertake to flow the money before July 1?
