Latest liberal vote-getting strategy: let’s *not* conduct a review of possible coruption.
That’s the general message Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty is leaving many, after he quietly ended a review of Ontario’s latest attempt at establishing a system of electronic health records. the investigation was to look at the organization’s procurement practices since its creation, and table a report on its findings this summer. The province’s auditor general had first made the request to have the investigation dropped, saying it would duplicate his own investigation, the report from which is due in September. I’m all for not going over things unnecessarily, but to simply pull the plug in the independant review–particularly when you’re already on thin ice where this organization’s concerned–well, that’s just not the smartest thing to ever come out of Toronto. Particularly when it was the current government that created the organization, the current government who ordered both reviews, and the current government who cancelled one of them. And this would be the better alternative to the conservatives, according to some. I’m still not entirely sure on that. Right now, he seems pretty equal with Canada’s prime minister.
