Translate Politics Parliament in plain language.

Health

Question period focused on PrescribeIT, a digital e-prescribing program run by Canada Health Infoway that received $300 million and is being shut down. Conservatives asked why the money produced so little uptake and why the minister did not act sooner, and raised the health committee voting to close its meetings to cameras; they also asked how much more funding Infoway would get this year. The minister said the program was launched in 2017 under the previous government with provincial participation, that uptake was low when she took office, and that it was ended to protect public money; she agreed the Infoway CEO’s behaviour was unacceptable, said the board removed him and governance is being addressed, and said Infoway will receive $50 million this year with figures public.Written by AI from the debate.
