Health
In question period on health, Conservatives pressed the government over PrescribeIT, an electronic prescription program that received $300 million through Canada Health Infoway and is being shut down. They said the money produced no results and asked the government to support an Auditor General investigation. Health Minister Marjorie Michel said the program, launched in 2017, was not being used and was supposed to become self-funded, so ending it saves taxpayers money. She also pointed to Bill S-5, the Connected Care for Canadians Act, as legislation that would help health information systems work together.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
