The Canadian government is making significant investments in healthcare, including more doctors and nurses, dental care, free contraceptives, and free insulin. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland highlighted the transformative nature of these investments, emphasizing that Canada's fiscally responsible economic plan allows for such spending on social services. Health Minister Mark Holland defended the universal dental program, noting that 10,000 oral health providers are offering care to 2 million seniors. Freeland also announced that millions of Canadian seniors are now signed up to receive insured dental care, which ensures they no longer have to choose between dental care and paying bills. Freeland stated, 'The Canadian Dental Care Plan is already making a real difference in the lives of millions of Canadians.'
