Conservatives demanded answers on $300 million wasted on the PrescribeIT boondoggle. Liberals suggested everything is fine, accused Conservatives of obstruction, and brought up an unrelated study on HIV in Manitoba.
“That was before. We fired the CEO. We're checking everything again. Maybe we'll change the funding after we look at it some more.”
“You turn the cameras off and hide records. I don't trust you. Work harder on this. Tell Canadians about it on Tuesday.”
“You're attacking me to distract from your own failings. I'm just here to help Canadians.”
“The Liberals should stop covering up PrescribeIT. Canadians deserve answers, not a cover-up. The Liberals are not giving us answers. I think the Liberals should stop covering it up. The Prime Minister told them to be quiet. This is very bad.”
“The Conservatives should stop asking about PrescribeIT. They're not focusing on the right things. I want to study the HIV crisis in Manitoba instead. I think Canadians want us to study HIV in Manitoba too.”
