Mr. Speaker, before our government passed the Canadian dental care plan, one out of four Canadians could not afford to go to a dental office. Since we passed the Canadian dental care plan, more than 700,000 Ontarians can now visit a dental care provider. This has allowed dentists to serve over 10,000 people in London West. We clearly know that this is working because 750,000 Canadians have already used a CDCP and do not want to lose access to this vital program.
The Conservatives do not want to talk about the incredible impact that this program has had on many thousands of lives in our country because they do not want people to know that they would cut this program, which will impact Canadians. Our government, however, is always going to put Canadians first. We are going to work to get this country the health care that it deserves.
