Matt Strauss Conservative
“The government gave 300 million dollars to Canada Health Infoway for a project that failed. The group only fired its CEO after Conservatives brought up these problems. How much more money will the minister give this poorly run group this year? I want the exact dollar amount.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals gave $300 million to Canada Health Infoway to build PrescribeIT, which the minister now acknowledges was a total failure. However, here is the problem. The board of Canada Health Infoway only fired its million‑dollar CEO after Conservatives raised these failures at the health committee. How much more money does the health minister plan to give this very badly run organization this year? I would like just the number of dollars, please.”
