Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 12 wordsit is always a pleasure to be here at the late show.Procedure Claims · 155 wordsCanadians across the country are demanding that the health committee investigate the Liberals’ $300-million PrescribeIT scandal.¹ When Conservatives called on the Auditor General to investigate, the Liberal Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health moved to turn off the committee cameras.² Since then, she has refused to explain herself to the committee.³ She has refused to explain herself to Parliament. She has refused to explain herself to the media. She has refused to explain herself to her constituents, and she has refused to explain herself to Canadians. Now the Liberals are pulling an even more disgusting political stunt. They are using Canadians suffering with HIV as an excuse to bury the truth. They are hiding behind an HIV study, a study that Conservatives have publicly agreed to support, to stop the health committee from working and to block an investigation into PrescribeIT.⁴ Even HIV organizations are now calling out the Liberals for politicizing this issue.⁵ Procedure · 5 wordsLet us think about that.Procedure Claims · 26 wordsThe Liberals are so desperate to cover up $300 million in wasted taxpayers’ money that they are using Canadians suffering with HIV as a political shield. Procedure · 4 wordsMy question is simple.Procedure The question · 23 wordsWill the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health commit today to supporting a full investigation into the PrescribeIT scandal, yes or no?
