HALIFAX — Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he will use the upcoming sitting of Parliament to push the Liberals to move on dental care and housing, as laid out in the deal between the two parties.
The Liberals have promised to create a dental care program, beginning by providing coverage for children under the age of 12 from low- and middle-income families by the end of this year. This would expand to include children under 18, seniors and people with disabilities by 2023, and all Canadians with household incomes under $90,000 in 2025.
Singh said Wednesday he’s very confident the first target of dental care for children will be met by the end of the year, warning there will be “repercussions” if it isn’t. “With the cost of living going up, inflation going up, that requires giving people some support,” he said.
