Mr. Speaker, I realize that the hon. member has been in a disastrous situation for the last 20 years being a member of the NDP.
I just want to say that at this time the laws are in place. The minister needed that. There is a possibility under the law to have an exemption that was not asked for and should have been, but it is provided in the law so that if there is an emergency, we can turn to somebody else to get the pills.
It was done exactly that way in good faith by the Department of Health.
