Mr. Chair, I will try to keep my questions brief so that the minister can answer.
First, with respect to the questions that he has already been asked about the hep C announcement today, the minister quite rightly pointed out how difficult this issue is with lawyers, class action suits, et cetera. Would he not agree that things would be less difficult if the government would say at the same time as it said what it said today that it would be willing to put more money on the table should it be required in order to meet the needs of all the victims who exist outside that window? That would certainly make things a lot less difficult.
