In March, when NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh announced plans to prop up the Trudeau government into 2025, he said the arrangement was primarily incumbent on a Liberal promise to institute a federal dental care program.
The Liberals haven’t implemented a federal dental care program, but they did announce a stop-gap program in which low-income families could apply for $650 cheques that could presumably be spent on dental care.
And notably, the official announcement made zero mention whatsoever of the federal NDP. Rather, the policy was pitched as a generous offering conceived by the Liberal cabinet. “We will always be there for families who need it most, when they need it most,” said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the official press release. It fell to the NDP to remind everyone that the policy only came about in exchange for their party “not forcing a snap election.”
