House Hansard - 271

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
January 30, 2024 10:00AM
Context: House Hansard - 271 - Jan/30/24
Mr. Angelo Iacono (Alfred-Pellan, Lib.)

Mr. Speaker, many seniors in Alfred-Pellan and across Canada are neglecting their oral health because they cannot afford dental care. Untreated dental problems can escalate, causing a person's general health to deteriorate and putting even more strain on an already overburdened health care system. That is why our government introduced the Canadian dental care plan to help ease financial barriers to accessing oral health care for eligible Canadians. I invite seniors in Alfred-Pellan and across Canada who have an annual family net income of less than $90,000 and who do not have access to dental insurance to apply for the plan today. Once registration is confirmed, coverage can start as early as May 2024.
