Updated: Liberals planning temporary solution to dental care promise: sources | National Newswatch
OTTAWA — Sources close to the government's proposed $5.3-billion dental-care program say the Liberals are planning a temporary solution that involves giving money directly to patients in order to keep their promise to the NDP while they work on a permanent answer.
Though details are scarce, the sources say the temporary solution would involve giving qualifying families the money directly to fund their dental health services while the government works on a more permanent, expanded program. The NDP are now focused on pushing the Liberals to introduce dental-care legislation when Parliament resumes in the fall, Davies said.
Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos's office has said repeatedly the department is looking at several options to meet its commitment and its end-of-year deadline. Meanwhile, the Liberals put out a formal request for information to members of the insurance industry two weeks ago to explore what role private companies could play in administering the program.
