“Liberals are blocking our questions about a $300-million health project. I want to know where that money went and who got rich from it.”

“Madam Speaker, all week at the health committee, Liberals tried to block and silence Conservatives from getting answers on the $300-million PrescribeIT scandal. They have no problems shutting down debate, covering up and protecting Liberal insiders who got rich off the backs of Canadians. I guess this is the new normal that Liberals always wanted, but Conservatives will never stop asking these Liberals the tough questions they want to hide from. Canadians deserve to know: Where did the $300 million go and who got rich?”

“A former health agency boss was paid over 800,000 dollars a year for a failed program, and 300 million tax dollars were wasted. The Liberals are protecting him from committee questions. I want to know who will take the blame next.”

“Madam Speaker, Canadians do not want Liberal spin. They want to know where and why their money was wasted. Take Michael Green, the disgraced former CEO of Canada Health Infoway. He was paid over $800,000 a year for more than a decade to run that failed program. These Liberals are now shielding him from committee for the scandal. Conservatives will not be silenced. We will not stop demanding answers on why $300 million in tax dollars was abused by this government. Michael Green was the first to take the fall for these Liberals, so my question is, who is next?”

“Conservatives asked for an investigation into a government program that wasted $300 million. The Liberals moved the meeting behind closed doors, which legally stops me from talking about it for 30 years. That is not transparent.”

“Madam Speaker, at a recent health committee, Conservatives moved a motion calling for a full investigation into the Liberals’ wasteful, $300-million PrescribeIT boondoggle. The Liberals immediately responded by moving that meeting behind closed doors. As a result, under House rules, I am forbidden from telling Canadians what happened in that meeting for the next 30 years. Does silencing MPs on committee work for 30 years show transparency from this majority Liberal government?”
