Adjournment Proceedings

An adjournment debate about Canada Health Infoway, the organization that handles health information technology. Matt Strauss of the Conservatives asked who has authority over the organization, including who dismissed its head, and said the health minister should appear at committee. Maggie Chi, a Liberal parliamentary secretary, said any future funding must align with Infoway’s mandate and deliver value for Canadians. Strauss said his specific questions about control and funding were not answered; Chi raised his conduct during a committee study on HIV in Manitoba.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .

Mr. Speaker, as the minister has stated, any future funding must align with Canada Health Infoway’s mandate and deliver value for Canadians. That means supporting the modernization of Canada’s health care system and improving how health information is shared across the country. Our government will remain focused on making sure Canadians have access to a modern, connected health care system that works for them.

“The member opposite blocked our committee's study on HIV in Manitoba. He said we cannot do anything to help people there. Our party will always work to protect public health.”

Mr. Speaker, I do want to remind folks again that the member opposite continued to obstruct our health committee on the very important study on HIV in Manitoba, the member’s colleague’s own province. He openly stated that he did not believe that we can take any action as parliamentarians to help Manitobans. That is, frankly, just disgraceful. It is shameful. On this side of the House, we will always work to improve the health of Canadians. We will always take a public health crisis as urgent.
