c'mon Shady, why would your boy PeePee and CPC MPs vote against providing dental care to the children of low(er) income families?

Canada Dental Benefit - the Liberal federal government plan states that:
=> as the first stage, coverage for those people who are uninsured, and earning less than $90,000, will start with kids under 12 years old this year;
=> coverage will be expanded to those under 18, seniors and people with disabilities by the end of next year;
=> full implementation is promised by 2025.

NDP calls out Poilievre and Conservatives for opposing kids dental benefit while MPs enjoy comprehensive coverage

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says it’s “ridiculous” that Conservative MPs will vote against a proposed dental benefit for children in low-income families when they enjoy far more comprehensive dental care coverage for their own families.

“Conservative MPs are planning to vote against giving kids dental care when their leader has had publicly-paid dental care for nearly two decades," Singh said Wednesday, referring to Pierre Poilievre, who has been an MP since 2004.

The Conservatives have signalled they will oppose Bill C-31, which would provide a benefit of up to $650 per child under age 12 in families with incomes lower than $90,000. Last week, the party tried to pass a motion in the House of Commons gutting the legislation.
