Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Party's health critic has actually been fairly clear on the issue. We support what is before us today.
We recognize that, as has been pointed out, there are a couple of other countries in the world that attempted to deal with this and have come up with some form of resolution. We also need to recognize that it is a very sad story. This is a medication that was actually deemed safe for use. Unfortunately, sadly, it literally destroyed the lives of not only the individuals directly affiliated with the drug itself but also the family members and so forth. It has caused a great deal of harm.
It is only natural that we look at the survivor task force, meet, and have discussions to see what we can do to come up some sort of a resolution for further justice on the issue.
Could the member provide more comment with respect to the impact this drug, thalidomide, has had on families and communities that were directly affected?
