The Liberals dental–care benefit bill passed third reading Thursday in the House of Commons despite opposition from the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois.
The bill passed 172 to 138, with Conservatives and the Bloc voting against it.
It would give children with families who make less than $90,000 a year as much as $650 per child to care for their teeth.
To qualify, families will need to apply through the Canada Revenue Agency and attest that they have booked a dental visit for their kids, that they don’t have private insurance and that they will have out-of-pocket expenses for the appointment.
Families will also have to keep their receipts in case they are audited….
