“The government spent $300 million on an electronic prescription program, but people were still using faxes after 10 years. I want to know why the parliamentary secretary voted to turn off the cameras while our committee was investigating this.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am sort of confused, because yesterday at the health committee, the board chair of Health Infoway actually said that the program was a success, yet the Liberal government has been shutting it down. However, it still managed to spend $300 million and was still sending fax messages after 10 years. I will go back to my original question: Why did the parliamentary secretary for health vote to turn off the cameras at the health committee while we were investigating the $300 million spent on PrescribeIT? Why did she turn off the cameras?”
