Mr. Speaker, six years ago the Liberal government voted against an opposition motion to compensate all the victims of hepatitis C. For six years these victims were left to fend for themselves while the government racked up huge profits from the interest on the hepatitis C compensation fund.
Finally it appears that the government is preparing to cave in and do the right thing.
Why did it take so long? Why have the Liberals opposed fairness and compensation for the hepatitis C victims for so long?
