Krever Given More Time to File Blood-Probe Report

Toronto Globe and Mail (12/19/95) P. A5

Canadian Justice Horace Krever has been allotted additional time to sift through the enormous amount of evidence given in the country's tainted-blood scandal before filing his final report. The federal Privy Council Office has given Krever until Sept. 30, 1996 to complete the report, said government spokesman Gerald Simoneau. The report was due by the end of 1995, however hearings will not be completed until late this week. Krever is the head of an inquiry which is attempting to determine how more than 1,000 Canadians became HIV-infected from the blood supply between 1978 and 1985.
