“A former health agency CEO got a huge payout after being fired over a 300-million-dollar failure. The health minister has an official on that agency's board. I want to know if that official voted for the payout.”

“Mr. Speaker, the former CEO of Canada Health Infoway, Michael Green, was fired after the Conservatives exposed his role in the $300-million PrescribeIT scandal. We have since obtained his termination letter. That termination letter granted Mr. Green a massive severance package that included a full year of salary and benefits, months of pension contributions, months of car allowance, vacation pay, more performance pay and an additional bonus after he was fired for the $300-million failure. The health minister’s very own official is on the board of Canada Health Infoway, so my question is simple: Did the health minister’s representative vote in favour of this massive severance package for PrescribeIT’s CEO, yes or no?”

“The government did not answer my question. A health project failed after costing $300 million, and the boss who ran it got a large severance package. The health minister has an official on that board. I want a yes-or-no answer: did that official vote to give the boss that severance money?”

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals did not answer my question. He was going on about an auditor trail. He did not answer my question. My question was about a severance package awarded to the CEO who oversaw the $300-million PrescribeIT failure. The health minister’s very own official is on Canada Health Infoway’s board. My question was simple: Did the health minister’s representative vote in favour of the massive severance package for the PrescribeIT CEO, yes or no?”
