It is now $300 million later, ¹Reasoning · 11 wordsand there is almost nothing to show for it at PrescribeIT. Claims · 31 wordsInstead of streamlining and digitizing prescriptions, PrescribeIT accounts for only a meagre 5% of prescriptions across Canada.² On top of that, fully 200 million tax dollars are missing and unaccounted for.³ Positioning · 13 wordsThat is 200 million tax dollars that literally went into a black hole.Positioning Claims · 26 wordsFor all of that, the CEO, Mr. Green, was awarded compensation of $1 million a year, including, in his last year, receiving a $215,000 performance bonus.⁴ Positioning · 51 wordsHe received $1 million of compensation for no work, with nothing to show for it other than 200 million tax dollars that literally went into a black hole. All of this occurred under the watch of the current health minister and previous Liberal health ministers, who all turned a blind eye.Positioning Claims · 13 wordsSince this scandal became public, the Liberals have been in full cover-up mode.

The Minister of Health pats herself on the back for terminating Mr. Green, ⁶PositioningReasoning · 17 wordsbut she only did so after this scandal came to light and she, effectively, had no choice. Positioning · 7 wordsWhat the health minister failed to disclose, PositioningClaims · 26 wordswhich we subsequently learned upon obtaining Mr. Green’s termination letter, is that he received $1 million on his way out the door, a $1-million golden parachute.⁷ The question · 8 wordsHow do the Liberals justify any of this?
