The president of the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario stated that it has kids in pain because they cannot get dental surgery, the part of it they would see, with seven-eighths of them not getting surgery on time. Why is it that the Conservatives want to obstruct kids from receiving a benefit that would prevent the burden of dental disease? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7312646\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can the <a data-HoCid=\"279314\" href=\"/politicians/adam-van-koeverden/\" title=\"Adam van Koeverden\">Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health</a> please tell this House the importance of passing Bill <a data-HoCid=\"11924005\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-31/\" title=\"An Act respecting cost of living relief measures related to dental care and rental housing\">C-31</a> so that children can get the treatment they need this year for good oral health?</p>",

Le pr\u00e9sident de l'H\u00f4pital pour enfants de l'Est de l'Ontario a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que des enfants souffrent parce qu'ils n'ont pas acc\u00e8s \u00e0 la chirurgie dentaire \u2014 la partie dont l'h\u00f4pital s'occuperait \u2014 et que sept huiti\u00e8mes d'entre eux ne sont pas op\u00e9r\u00e9s \u00e0 temps. Pourquoi les conservateurs veulent-ils emp\u00eacher les enfants de recevoir une prestation qui les pr\u00e9munirait contre le fardeau des maladies dentaires?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7312646\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le <a data-HoCid=\"279314\" href=\"/politicians/adam-van-koeverden/\" title=\"Adam van Koeverden\">secr\u00e9taire parlementaire du ministre de la Sant\u00e9</a> peut-il nous dire \u00e0 quel point il est important d'adopter le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"11924005\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-31/\" title=\"An Act respecting cost of living relief measures related to dental care and rental housing\">C\u201131</a> afin que les enfants puissent recevoir les traitements dont ils ont besoin d\u00e8s cette ann\u00e9e pour avoir une bonne sant\u00e9 bucco-dentaire?</p>"
