Health

During question period on health, Conservatives pressed the government about Canada Health Infoway’s PrescribeIT electronic prescription program, saying $300 million was spent on a project that did not deliver and that Liberal members have blocked health committee meetings for weeks, preventing witnesses from appearing and ordered documents from being produced. They asked that the committee be allowed to investigate and questioned why funding had continued. The Minister of Health said governance issues had been identified at Canada Health Infoway, that the CEO had left and an acting director was in place, that funding to the agency had been halted, and that a review of the agency’s mandate and leadership would report by the end of the summer. She also said Conservatives were blocking a committee study on AIDS, calling it a national crisis, particularly in Manitoba. A Liberal minister’s answer near the end shifted to the economy, saying Conservatives focus only on bad economic news while ignoring figures such as 88,000 new jobs.Written by AI from the debate.
