Mr. Speaker, let us talk about real action. Tomorrow, families that could not afford to send their children to the dentist will be able to start filing claims for the money to be able to do so. The reality is that it will make a big difference in the lives of many families that are struggling to make ends meet to be able to get dental care for their children. Unfortunately, despite my colleague's interjection, she and all of the Conservatives voted against these measures to help families access dental care.

Mr. Speaker, having spoken with many families across the country that are having to rely on food banks, I can say that they are also extremely worried about being able to send their kids to the dentist. These are the kinds of things they do not get to do when they are squeezed for resources. As of tomorrow, we are opening applications for supports so that families of all income levels can send their kids to the dentist. Unfortunately, the member and all Conservatives voted against giving $1,300 for dental support over the next two years to families who need it.
