Dean Allison Conservative
“Canadians hurt by COVID vaccines say the support program is a disaster. Out of 56 million dollars, 36 million went to running the program and only 20 million went to injured people. The government had to take the program back because of this bad spending. What is the government doing now to get injured Canadians the money they deserve?”
“Madam Speaker, at September’s Allison Inquiry, COVID vaccine-injured Canadians repeatedly described the vaccine injury support program as an unmitigated disaster. Of the $56 million paid to contractor Oxaro, $36 million went to administration and only around $20 million went to those who were injured. That is one-third. Following revelations of financial mismanagement, the government took over the program. What is the government doing today to ensure that vaccine-injured Canadians receive the compensation they deserve?”
