Ajouté : 2026-04-29

[00:00:00]last meeting we had, we had guests here from our witnesses here from Canada Health Infoway and Health Canada and of course Telus Health as well. And then in the in those discussions the the witnesses were were giving conflicting information if any information at all and it was quite a battle even the chair actually tied into some of the witnesses as far as just actually answering the questions.

[00:00:27]And one of the more concerning things of course that was was brought out was the expenses that were brought forward. It was first reported in the media basically that was 250 million dollars was spent on Prescribe IT and then we found out at committee it was 300 and then it's actually 300 million and then it's actually ballooned up to 350 million potentially. So with all that and all the still the questions remaining, I move that the committee request that the Auditor General of Canada conduct an audit of Prescribe IT including the costs, governance, termination, transition and intellectual property arrangements.

[00:01:08]And B, invite the Minister of Health, officials from Health Canada and the Treasury Board Secretariat of Canada to appear for at least two hours on Prescribe IT within two weeks of adoption of this motion or at the earliest opportunity. I so move. Thank you. I move to to have the meeting in camera.
