The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that federally funded non-profit Canada Health Infoway has missed a deadline to turn over all the internal documents, including contracts with Telus Health, requested by a parliamentary committee investigating the failed $300-million PrescribeIT digital prescription program. The Globe's Chris Hannay and Kelly Grant write that four Conservative MPs on the House of Commons health committee sent a letter to Infoway's board chair, Peter Vaughan, on Wednesday urging the organization to turn over the outstanding papers. "It is unacceptable for Canada Health Infoway to accept billions in taxpayer funding, pay its CEO nearly $900,000 a year, oversee a failed $300-million program, and then withhold documents ordered by a parliamentary committee," the letter signed by MPs Dan Mazier, Burton Bailey, Helena Konanz and Matt Strauss stated. Infoway said in an unsigned statement to The Globe that the organization supplied the majority of the documents on time, but the remainder of the requests cover a "broad range of historical records" that could run into hundreds of thousands of pages. The non-profit remains committed to complying with the committee's orders, the statement added.
