Mr. Speaker, I did say they are not open for business yet.
The auditor general also says that Canada Health Infoway “is required to respect key federal legislation...including...avoiding conflict of interest”. However, the chair of the board of directors, Mr. Eric Maldoff, is a loyal Liberal who has made sizable donations to the Liberal Party in each of the last three years.
My question is for the Minister of Health. If Infoway is required to avoid a conflict of interest, why has she given a loyal Liberal $500 million of Canadian taxpayers' money with no requirement to explain to parliament how it is being spent?
