A medical staffing agency charged taxpayers for a travel nurse to be provided with an electric vehicle rental, while simultaneously billing for the same nurse to take taxis, rent a separate car, and fly out of the province.
That’s according to an analysis of invoices submitted by the agency and obtained by CBC Investigates.
Canadian Health Labs (CHL) charged for that travel nurse in central Newfoundland to use the electric vehicle over a period of 175 consecutive days in 2023.
The EV rental came from an affiliated company, at a cost of $1,127 a week.
The records show that, during the same timeframe, Canadian Health Labs submitted other transportation-related claims in the name of the same nurse.
