Dean Allison Conservative
“Canada gave billions of dollars to people hurt in the tainted blood scandal. Now, Health Canada has recorded about 12,000 serious bad reactions to COVID-19 vaccines, but injured people are still struggling to get help with their medical bills and lost pay. When will the government give them real financial support?”
“Madam Speaker, following the tainted blood scandal, Canada established compensation programs worth billions for those affected with HIV and hepatitis C. Today, Health Canada has recorded approximately 12,000 serious adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination, yet compensation remains limited. At the Allison Inquiry, we heard from Canadians facing devastating medical bills and lost incomes. Why are vaccine-injured Canadians still struggling to receive compensation, and when will the government deliver meaningful financial support?”
