Mr. Speaker, last July 25, the Conservative government announced that victims of hepatitis C infected before January 1986 and after July 1990 would be compensated as soon as possible, subject to the approval of the provincial courts. Ten months later, the victims are still waiting and are calling for a settlement to be made as quickly as possible.
Could the Minister of Health tell us if he intends to set up an emergency fund to pay some of the victims most affected by hepatitis C?
