Madam Speaker, I agree with my hon. colleague that people are really struggling right now. In Vancouver Kingsway, people are having trouble paying their skyrocketing rent; they cannot afford a home, and they are living paycheque to paycheque. They are facing food insecurity. People need help.
My colleague referred to one of her constituents, Stephanie. One of my constituents, a senior named Mary, contacted me last week. She told me that she went to the dentist for the first time and got dentures. She had been living without teeth for years. She could not eat an apple. Her nutrition and her overall health suffered. She got dental care, primary health care, because of what the NDP has done in Parliament.
Cutting dental care would hurt millions of Canadians, including seniors who need it. If the member's party forms government, will she cut dental care, or will she stand up today and say here in the House that she will support, keep and expand the dental care that is helping Canadians in this country?
