For anyone wondering it shows ~9m people eligible in 2025 in the original doc titled: A Proposed Framework for the Canadian Dental Care Plan from the Dentist Association

Also I think it should be mentioned that the wording used in the StatCan data is "Approved applicants".

If that's true then the maximum would be be 21.76% of the population covered by the plan. We're currently 8.36% away from that goal.

However our taxes are going to Sun Life Financial who is currently lobbying against pharmacare.
