Mr. Speaker, in standing up to talk about the thalidomide issue, which occurred during the 1960s in Canada with very tragic consequences, it is nice to see that we appear to be on the verge of having unanimous support that recognizes the kind of role that Canada has to play in terms of future compensation.
Does the member believe that there is also a role for the provinces, which are responsible for departments of health and outreach programs for individuals who need onsite care? Does the member want to comment on that aspect of what we are talking about today?
