Health
In question period, the Conservative health critic asked about the cancelled PrescribeIT e-prescribing program, saying it cost taxpayers $300 million despite low usage, that its CEO received high pay and a bonus, and that ministers should take responsibility. The parliamentary secretary replied that the program was launched by the previous government with the aim of becoming self-funded, that uptake did not meet expectations, and that the government redirected funding toward other digital health priorities. Conservatives also accused the government of blocking study of the matter at the health committee and asked that the block end; the government said it is refocusing health spending toward national health data standards.
