During a budget review, Quebec Health Minister Sonia Bélanger faced scrutiny over escalating costs of IT projects, particularly the appointment scheduling system, which has surged from an initial estimate of $18 million to $126 million. Bélanger defended the government's approach, citing the Gallant Commission's recommendations to develop autonomous IT solutions, despite criticism from opposition members about transparency and repeated cost overruns. Liberal MNA Monsef Derraji highlighted the troubling trend of budget increases and delays, questioning the minister's pride in the management of these projects. Additionally, the Système d’information en finances et en approvisionnement (SIFA) project has seen costs rise from nearly $100 million to over $330 million. Despite the suspension of the contract with LGS, the government is still incurring monthly payments of $723,000. Bélanger acknowledged the challenges of implementing information systems but emphasized the importance of having government-owned solutions.
