Purpose and Significance of Report
The purpose of this report is to provide recommendations for a universal dental care program in Ontario, which is the mutual goal of the NDP party and liberal government. The individuals in the existing dental programs are assets for information regarding functionality and efficacy of these programs. We can then provide a baseline for this universal program.
