Thanks to @cafreeland and #Budget2023 - Canadians will have improved access to oral healthcare. @theCDHA

[Ondina @LoveButtle]

@theCDHA today applauded the 2023 Budget for the rock-solid commitment to strengthen Canada’s public health care system by delivering the Canadian Dental Care Plan. This will mean generational dental and dental hygiene care for millions of Canadians. #Budget2023 @cafreeland

#Budget2023

[Ondina @LoveButtle]

EHPC is disappointed that, despite a previous promise to include more health professions in an expansion of the rural and remote student loan forgiveness program, the Government has failed to expand the list of eligible professions in #Budget2023. @theCDHA @LoveButtle

[Health Canada and PHAC @GovCanHealth]
