While the federal government is continuing to roll out the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) to more Canadians, Alberta residents may not be benefitting from the program for long.
In a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dated Tuesday, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith noted that the province plans to opt out of the program by 2026.
That’s because the CDCP “unnecessarily replicates” publicly funded dental coverage that is already available to many Albertans, according to the premier.
