Matt Strauss Conservative
“An organization wasted $300 million on a health program and achieved nothing in 10 years. Its CEO was just fired for running it so poorly. I want the health minister to explain why she gave this same group another $50 million this year.”
“Mr. Speaker, here is a question the Minister of Health has never answered. She knows that PrescribeIT was a $300-million waste of taxpayer money. She knows the organization in charge of that program was so badly run she had to get the CEO fired just last month. Given that she knows all this, what I cannot understand is why she would give that same organization, one that cannot point to one tangible thing it has accomplished in 10 years, another $50 million of taxpayer money this year? It does not make sense.”
