Mr. Speaker, over one million Canadians have now accessed care through the Canadian dental care plan; with close to 363,000 British Columbians who were approved to receive care, that number will continue to soar. Despite this success, Conservatives are quick to say that they will gut the programs that are helping Canadians. One out of four Canadians said they skipped a dental visit because they could not afford it.
Can the Minister of Health please inform the House of how the CDCP is helping Canadians with affordability and putting their health first?
