Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for Avalon for his hard work for his constituents.
Despite Conservative Party opposition, as of tomorrow the families of half a million kids under 12 will be able to access the Canada dental benefit. That means up to $1,300 over two years per child for dental care. It will be open through the CRA's My Account for those with a net family income of under $90,000 who do not have access to private dental insurance. It is tax-free and goes directly to parents.
This is all part of our plan to make life more affordable for Canadians.
