When the program was introduced, the professionals had to register with the Canadian dental care plan. The situation has improved, since they no longer need to do so and they can still submit claims. In my opinion, this has helped the program move forward.
However, as Ms. Tassé‑Goodman said, some costs and treatments aren't covered. Some people are ineligible and feel that they should qualify. Ultimately, they aren't eligible, because they purchase their own dental insurance, for example. As a result, a number of issues must be addressed.
In Quebec, we have concerns about the transfer of the program. If this program is transferred, we hope to see improvements. We're also keeping a close eye on the development of the Canadian dental care plan.
