OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre promised Tuesday that Canadians receiving federal dental care would continue to do so, should his party form the next government.

Poilievre outlined his intention for the program, while appearing in Vaughn, Ont., where he made an announcement on housing affordability.

Asked about dental care and pharmacare, two programs the Liberals established over their last term in government, Poilievre pledged to “protect these programs.”
