The second question is on attestation and what's required in order to access the benefit. I note the wording is pretty loose. All that's required is the intent to have dental treatment.
I know the opposition thinks our government is stupid, but I don't think that is true. I think there was some thinking that went into it, including the fact that poor families and poor families with kids are struggling to get by. There are a lot of costs in life. Dental care is certainly one of them, but you have to buy your kid shoes, you have to buy them food and you have to pay for their minor league hockey. These are all costs for families.
Perhaps we made it fairly vague on purpose, so that as many people as possible could apply for this benefit. Hopefully, people will use it for their children's oral health. However, it can be used, generally speaking, by people of low income with families who are struggling to get by and need the money as soon as possible.
I'm suggesting that is why the wording is rather loose and there isn't the requirement that you get your whole 650 dollars' worth.
