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.

Liberal Health Minister Kamal Khera said coverage will start as early as June 1.

The program was launched initially for seniors in December 2023 and has been expanded in phases to cover children and people with disabilities.
