Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this is a serious, complex issue. There was a decision actually by provincial, territorial and federal health Ministers to work toward providing a financial assistance package to Hepatitis C affected individuals. The issue, quite frankly, I have to be careful because there is some sensitivity in negotiations going on between the federal government and my provincial and territorial colleagues in respect to who is going to contribute what toward this program and what are some of the perimeters of the program that may be offered, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
