“I want to complain about Canada Health Infoway. The government should stop giving it money. The Minister of Health shouldn't give it another $50 million this year. It's a backward organization. The CEO got fired. I asked them and they couldn't name one program that's helping people. I think it's badly run. I think it's become a slush fund. The Liberals shovel money at it. Then insiders shovel the money around. They shovel it to lobbying firms. I don't like that. I don't think the government should give it any more money.”
What they said. What they meant.

A debate where a Conservative MP asked the Liberal government about their spending on Canada Health Infoway, given its lack of results. The Liberal MP responded by talking about the government's general approach to health care spending and a $5 billion fund to help provinces build hospitals, without directly addressing the specific question about Canada Health Infoway's spending.
“My constituents want this bad contract gone. I'm a doctor and this wasteful spending won't help anyone. Stop wasting money on lobbyists. Give the money to hospitals or nurses instead.”
