Quebec Digital Project Faces $1 Billion Cost Overrun

Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette is under fire for another IT project running over budget, with opposition politicians calling for a moratorium on all ongoing government IT projects. The Santé Québec digital transformation project is estimated to cost $1 billion, compared to the initial $96 million. Parti Québécois leader Marie-Claude Sarrazin has vowed to audit all IT projects, while Québec Solidaire co-spokesperson Ruba Ghazal criticized Fréchette for the cost overrun, which she called "staggering."
