Mr. Speaker, the number of the day is one million. That is one million Canadians who now have received oral health care through the Canadian dental care plan. That is one million Canadians, many of whom are seniors living in our communities, who visited a dental hygienist, a dentist or a denturist, many for the very first time. They are now getting access to dental care, as they should, so their health can improve.
However, the leader of the Conservative Party argues that this program, somehow, does not exist and he wants to cut it. He would deprive millions of Canadians from getting good oral health care through the Canadian dental care plan. We are proud to have brought in this program that is now serving one million Canadians who live in all of our communities.
