Mr. Speaker, I will tell my colleague that I speak with Canada Health Infoway through the representative of Health Canada who is on the board. I do not have direct conversations with anyone on the board, because Health Canada has somebody on the board. I would also say that we have taken the right measures, because after our conversation with the board, they removed the CEO of the company. Now
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the supplementary estimates (A), 2026‑27.
S-5, An Act respecting the interoperability of health information technology and to prohibit data blocking by health information technology vendors moved that Bill, be read the first time.
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I am not sure exactly what his point is. The Conservatives know full well that Canada Health Infoway is a separate entity from the government. We have a representative on the board of directors, and we communicate with the organization through that representative. I am not going to get into who said what, but I have spoken to the representative
Mr. Speaker, I agree that the situation with the CEO of that company is unacceptable. As members know, that company does not report directly to Health Canada. However, I spoke with its board of directors, and corrective measures were applied. I can assure the opposition member that I am working on this and that I will do everything in my power to clarify all of the problems.
Mr. Speaker, I take the work of the Standing Committee on Health very seriously, and I will certainly return to testify before the committee at some point. As I said, we took action. We spoke with the board of directors, and they took steps to remove the CEO. I will continue to work on this issue and will take the necessary steps.
Mr. Speaker, the first thing I will say to my colleague is, yes, he is right, the CEO of Infoway's behaviour was unacceptable. I spoke to the board of directors, and they took the necessary steps. Now we are working on the organization's governance. However, this year, Infoway will receive $50 million. As you know, that money is in the public accounts of the Department of Health, so you have
Mr. Speaker, since I have been Minister of Health for the new government, I believe I have appeared five times before the Standing Committee on Health. I have no problem sitting down and working with my colleagues.
Mr. Speaker, that is news to me, because I spoke with Alberta's health minister last week and the regulations have not yet been put in place. Our two departments are working together. For the moment, I cannot say that Alberta is not complying with the Canada Health Act. I can confirm that Alberta's health minister has authorized me to say that she wants to work within the framework of the Canada
Mr. Speaker, I will say it again for my colleague: This program was put in place in 2017 with the participation of the provinces and territories. The program did not work the way we had hoped it would. When I took office last year, we assessed the programs and saw that this program did not have much uptake, so we decided to end it to protect Canadians' money.
