Singh applauds ‘final phase’ of NDP dental plan as Ottawa makes program available to more Canadians

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh applauded the decision by Ottawa to expand access to its dental care program on Saturday. “This is amazing,” Singh said of the “final phase” of the NDP dental plan. “For a lot of people, they’ve been living in pain, and they can’t afford to get it fixed.” The government says all Canadians who have household incomes of less than $90,000 and don’t have private insurance will be able to apply for the program over the month of May.
