OTTAWA — Health Minister Mark Holland is accusing the Conservatives of trying to"sabotage" the government's dental care program by calling up dental associations and"bullying" them — accusations the Tories are calling"unhinged."
So far, more than 40 per cent of dental-health care providers have signed on to the program, Holland said at a news conference Tuesday. "I'm in a frustrated position now where I don't really understand what their issue is," he told reporters."I think they're actively seeking it, if I could be really blunt, because the Conservative party doesn't want this to succeed and calling these dental associations and screaming at them and getting angry at them," Holland said.
"It is Canada's dentists, the ones who deliver care to Canadians right across our country, who are calling out this NDP-Liberal government for delivering a broken dental program and breaking their promises to Canadians," spokesman Sebastian Skamski said in a statement Tuesday.
