“A digital prescription program failed after the government spent $300 million on it. Liberal MPs are shutting down committee meetings and stopping the health minister from testifying. Why are the Liberals blocking an investigation into this waste of money?”

“Mr. Speaker, documents now reveal that the Liberals’ $300-million PrescribeIT failure processed fewer than 5% of prescriptions at its peak. That means that, after burning through $300 million, PrescribeIT failed to deliver 95% of prescriptions. When Conservatives on the health committee tried to investigate, Liberal MPs turned off the cameras. Then they abruptly shut down meetings. Yesterday, they blocked an emergency meeting to prevent the health minister from testifying. Why are the Liberals blocking the health committee from investigating the $300-million PrescribeIT scandal?”

“The government wasted 300 million dollars on a digital prescription program. They are shutting down committee meetings and blocking the minister from testifying. I want to know why they are stopping us from investigating this.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are denying Canadians transparency on the $300 million that was wasted on PrescribeIT. At the health committee, they turned off the cameras, shut down meetings and blocked the minister from testifying. Conservatives are prepared to work through the summer to get to the bottom of this scandal. Why are the Liberals blocking the health committee from investigating this $300-million PrescribeIT failure?”

“An organization wasted $300 million on a health program and achieved nothing in 10 years. Its CEO was just fired for running it so poorly. I want the health minister to explain why she gave this same group another $50 million this year.”

“Mr. Speaker, here is a question the Minister of Health has never answered. She knows that PrescribeIT was a $300-million waste of taxpayer money. She knows the organization in charge of that program was so badly run she had to get the CEO fired just last month. Given that she knows all this, what I cannot understand is why she would give that same organization, one that cannot point to one tangible thing it has accomplished in 10 years, another $50 million of taxpayer money this year? It does not make sense.”
