Government Dept: The comments were made after the government unveiled plans to cut off supplementary services like pharmaceutical care, dentistry, vision care and access to free assistive devices for claimants, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The move, he said, would save the government an estimated $100 million over five years and he hopes it also will deter bogus claimants from taking advantage of Canada's generosity and oTTAWA -- A government plan to roll back extended health-care benefits for asylum claimants in a bid to save money and deter bogus applicants is grossly unfair to the thousands of legitimate refugees who desperately need the help, opposition MPs said Wednesday. Immigration Minister Jason Kenney argued Canadians don't get government-funded eye and dental care and neither should refugees. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
