Replying to Burton Bailey (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, the $300 million Liberal cover-up continues. Liberals at the health committee continue blocking the investigation into PrescribeIT and hoping Canadians forget about the scandal that is turning into a possible contempt of Parliament. Even the Liberals were frustrated when they did not get answers from disgraced former CEO Michael Green, but then the Prime Minister yelled, “Be quiet,” and the cover-up began. When will the Liberals at the health committee find their spine and finally end the cover-up?”
