Mr. Speaker, Greeting · 10 wordsit is always an honour to do the late show.Greeting Procedure · 19 wordsI want to begin with a brief comment, given that we are discussing the work of the health committee.Procedure Claims · 124 wordsWe just received word that the CEO and president of Canada Health Infoway, Michael Green, has been fired by the Infoway board.¹ As Canadians are finding out, Canada Health Infoway is a taxpayer-funded organization the Liberals funnelled $300 million through to run the failed PrescribeIT program.² This news comes just hours after Conservatives uncovered that Mr. Green pocketed over $830,000 in taxpayer-funded compensation last year, ³which included a maximum performance bonus of over $215,000.⁴ The only reason Michael Green was fired from Canada Health Infoway is that Conservatives exposed the Liberals’ $300-million PrescribeIT failure. The health minister had every tool to audit and evaluate Infoway, but instead she let the CEO of a failing program pocket millions in taxpayer-funded compensation, including maximum performance bonuses. Promise · 19 wordsConservatives will not stop investigating PrescribeIT until we find out where every dollar went and who else got rich.Vague promise Procedure · 23 wordsWe are not here to discuss the $300-million PrescribeIT scandal, though. We are here to discuss the $1.5-billion interim federal health program scandal.⁷Procedure Claims · 58 wordsThanks to my colleague from Red Deer, Conservatives have uncovered that the Liberals have spent more than $275 million on health benefits for asylum seekers whose claims were rejected by the government’s own Immigration and Refugee Board.⁵⁸ According to the Liberal government, rejected asylum claimants remain eligible for deluxe health benefits like physiotherapy, home care and speech therapy.⁶ Procedure · 6 wordsAs such, my question is simple.Procedure The question · 26 wordsDoes the Liberal member believe it is fair that a rejected asylum claimant receives better taxpayer-funded health benefits than the Canadians who are paying for them?
