Thank you for that question, Mr. Fisher. I could not agree with you more. You know as a father of two teenagers—I'm a survivor of the teenage years, thankfully—that what we are seeing right now with young people is an enormous amount of loss and grief.
My colleague from McGill University talked about touch and the lack of in-person interaction. It is important to create an environment where virtual care and virtual supports—multiple different ones, because one-size-fits-all doesn't fit anybody well—are integrated and seamless. I cannot say that enough, about the seamlessness. It is critically important that we build a system for young people where they are not left behind. For the work of this and other governments across Canada focusing on mental health and young people, the time is now, and we cannot let them get far behind.
I could give you a list of things that Kids Help Phone could partner with that would directly impact young people, but for today I just want to implore this committee to make sure that you push all of us in the sector, and yourselves, to make sure it's seamless, that we are not fragmented and that we're not assuming the gaps are small, because the gaps are large.
