Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland says her government is doing its best to deliver on a promise to introduce a national dental care plan after the NDP threatened to reverse its pledge to keep the Liberals in power if a plan isn’t in place before year-end.
“Providing dental care to children and families earning less than $90,000 a year, to children under 12, was a clear commitment we made in the budget,” Freeland said on Aug. 9 after a tour of an automotive parts manufacturer in Etobicoke, Ont.
