“Mr Speaker, Canadians are learning that the Liberals spent $300 million on a software program called PrescribeIT. The Liberals promised PrescribeIT would replace fax machines for prescription drugs, but instead, less than 5% of prescriptions went through the program. Now the Liberals are quietly shutting down PrescribeIT, hoping Canadians won’t notice that their money is gone. Given that taxpayers funded a program that they do not own for a service that never worked, my question is simple: Where did the $300 million go?”
