Adjournment Proceedings
Adjournment Proceedings
Conservative MP Matt Strauss asked Liberal MP Maggie Chi about the independence and oversight of Canada Health Infoway, a government-funded non-profit. Strauss repeatedly pressed for clear yes-or-no answers on specifics like the health minister's power over the CEO. Chi mostly talked around the questions, pivoting to government talking points on modernizing health data sharing and accusing Strauss of obstruction at committee. As usual, not a ton came out of late-night Adjournment Proceedings.
