Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague and good friend from Courtenay— Alberni for raising this important issue.
Our government remains committed to ensuring that the Canadian dental care plan continues to deliver for Canadians. More than four million Canadians have already received care through the CDCP, and more than seven million Canadians are currently eligible for the program.
We will continue working to ensure that the program remains accessible, effective and responsive to the needs of Canadians.
