I have an update on dental care. As of today, 5,844,000 Canadians are enrolled in the Canadian dental care plan, 2.8 million have already received care, 27,600 oral health professionals provide services to Canadians, and 95% of dental care providers regularly bill the Canadian dental care plan, meaning that patients have access to a wide range of providers across the country. That said, the results are truly extraordinary.
We must continue to promote the program. According to estimates, 10 million people could be covered by the Canadian dental care plan. This means that some Canadians still don't know about the program, so we need to continue promoting it.
I’d like to take this opportunity to remind you of another thing: Enrolment in the Canadian dental care plan must be renewed every year. Starting in March, people will need to renew their card to access dental care.
I assume I’ve answered your question.
