Replying to Ginette Petitpas Taylor (Liberal)
“Mr. Speaker, I was listening attentively to my colleague’s statement in the House today, and I could not help but think that when I am in my riding of Moncton—Dieppe, I receive an awful lot of phone calls from seniors who are very pleased with respect to the dental care program that our government put in place. I hear from hundreds of seniors who say that this program has made a real difference. The member may not have been in the House when we voted on the program, but when she mentions Clifford, how does she explain to Clifford that the party she belongs to voted against a dental care program that is making a huge difference in the lives of seniors?”

Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 7 wordsthe answer is very plain and simple.ProcedureUnearned certainty Claims · 109 wordsI have had phone calls at my office about the dental program, and I can tell the House with full confidence that the majority of those phone calls are negative about the dental program. There are seniors who cannot get access to it who should have access to it. It is a mess of a problem in terms of the logistics and administration of it. Dental offices are struggling. This program is meant to manage the decline of affordability in this country, and once again, it is a failed program that is not working for seniors in the way the government tries to gaslight Canadians into thinking it does.
