Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to announce new measures to
tackle inflation, including details of a plan for dental care for
low-income families, a one-time benefit for low-income renters and a
temporary boost to the GST credit — all part of a plan to fulfil a deal
between the federal Liberals and the NDP.
Sources in both parties
tell CBC News that Trudeau and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh will announce
the details in separate announcements on Thursday.
Under the
proposed legislation, the government will give money to pay for dental
visits for children under 12 directly to families who earn $90,000 or
less. According to multiple NDP sources, parents from low and
middle-income families will receive $650 annually for two years per
child to pay for dental visits.
