“Mr. Speaker, the Liberal’s PrescribeIT program has been a total debacle, costing taxpayers $300 million for a program that effectively no one used and that the government has since been forced to cancel. We have learned that the CEO of the program was being paid $1 million a year, including pocketing a $215,000 bonus. This happened under the health minister’s watch. Will she accept responsibility for this latest outrageous abuse of taxpayer dollars?”
