I thank the Minister for her response. I know that she was on this side of the House many times when that side of the House shot down very worthwhile legislation that was being proposed simply because she was on this side of the House. I am glad that as a result of the new politics, we are not habitually shooting down legislation regardless of where it is proposed.The benchmark on the legislation concerns those who should have acted on the hepatitis C scandal. I refer to the people at senior management level in the Blood Transfusion Service Board should have gone to jail. This is where we will differ on section 3. They were guilty of corporate manslaughter. People undoubtedly died as a result of their actions and inaction, and this must be our very clear focus.
