Adjournment Proceedings
An adjournment debate on federal funding for Canada Health Infoway, a agency that develops digital health records and e-prescribing technology. Matt Strauss of the Conservatives said Infoway spent $300 million on its PrescribeIT e-prescribing project without tangible results and asked why the government is providing it another $50 million this year, arguing the money would be better returned to taxpayers or spent on hospitals and nurses. Liberal Kevin Lamoureux responded that the government is investing in modern technology, including digital health tools and AI, and that the federal government has a leadership role even where provinces have not joined federal plans; he also cited a $5-billion fund to help provinces build and improve hospitals.Written by AI from the debate.
