A late night debate where the Conservatives asked the Liberals to support an investigation into a $300 million health record system the government funded. The Liberals changed the topic to discussing a public health emergency in Manitoba.
“The provinces should pay for PrescribeIT now. Quebec is already paying. Conservatives should stop investigating. We should talk about HIV in Manitoba instead.”
“Just say yes or no. Should we investigate the $300 million spent on PrescribeIT?”
“I don't want to answer your question. You're mean. Let's change the subject to something that makes you look bad.”
