I'm I'm a
of a dentist by the way.
And then my my father told told me when I was all kinds of stories of of kids who he helped and tried to help and all that.
But the problem is a parent will put their child in a dental chair, they lean back, they open their mouth and a dentist looks in the child's mouth and they see thirty eight hundred dollars worth of work.
And they've got a six hundred dollar coupon from the government of Canada.
Well, what do you do?
What do you do with that?
Now you've teased people into thinking that the government is there and got your back.
And with not enough money to do anything.
And you've put dentists in an impossible spot, you've put provincial governments in an impossible spot, and you've scratched the surface of a much more complicated problem.
So now we have a different program, and it's gone from one billion dollars to four billion dollars and it's truncated to uh particular at risk youth and they've they've put a ceiling on ninety thousand dollars of household income and seniors over the age.
So it's become this sort of morphed sort of Frankenstein project relative
To expectations, and it's way more expensive, and it doesn't actually deliver what was originally promised because the intent of the political benefit of dealing and triaging one aspect of affordability, which is dental care, with one program has become, frankly, a nightmare.
And it didn't work because the politics was so tempting.
And now we have this program that's kind of rationalized in terms of its cost, but it's not comprehensive and it's not.
Meaningful and it's not Pan Canadian and doesn't cover everybody.
And because the rush to do something was more important than doing something effectively.
And we we're now multiple years into a program that's four X what its original cost is going to be.
And frankly, the the scale of coverage is not near what it could be because the promises got out of control.
Yeah, I mean, I sort of cast ahead.
