The Liberals defended a failed health software program called PrescribeIT that cost $300 million before being shut down. The Bloc criticized the waste of taxpayer money on this and other failed IT projects. The Liberal health minister said she has no problem working with colleagues after shutting it down.
“The Liberal majority is silencing opposition. They spent $300 million on PrescribeIT software that nobody uses. I want the Minister of Health to explain this waste and denounce the censorship.”
