Mr. Speaker, it has become a habit for the Conservatives. They deliberately refuse to keep their promises.
In the case of thalidomide victims, they do not have the right to create false hope. As a result of an NDP motion, the House unanimously voted to provide financial compensation. However, five months later there is nothing in the budget. Not only is Health Canada not releasing its assistance plan to the public, but it is even refusing to provide the details to thalidomide victims.
When will the minister finally treat these victims with dignity?
