Replying to Dan Mazier (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, the cost of the $300-million PrescribeIT scandal just went up again. Conservatives have obtained the termination letter sent to Michael Green, the disgraced CEO in charge of the Liberals’ PrescribeIT failure. According to the letter, Mr. Green was awarded a million-dollar severance package, including another massive performance bonus. The million-dollar package was approved by Canada Health Infoway. The health minister’s official is a member of Canada Health Infoway’s board. Did the minister’s official vote to reward Michael Green with more tax dollars after he already wasted $300 million?”
