Today, he cancelled the final health committee meeting entirely. This is a blatant abuse of power to shut the health committee down and block an investigation into the $300\u2011million PrescribeIT scandal. Conservatives are ready to work throughout the summer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9416383\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why did the Liberal chair of the health committee abruptly cancel Thursday's meeting to block an investigation into PrescribeIT?</p>",
