Thank you.
In my community of Newmarket—Aurora, our local hospital accommodates over 1.2 million people, and at the very beginning of this outbreak, I know that there was a lot of stress in terms of finding the resources that they needed, and I was certainly happy to see that the government stepped up and provided what was required.
We've also been talking about mental health and the impacts of the pandemic on Canadians' health throughout the past year and the role the federal government has been able to play in getting Canadians free, accessible mental health resources. I know that budget 2021 extends further funding for Wellness Together in the budget 2021-22 year, and in the supplementary estimates (A) there's additional funding for the Kids Help Phone.
Why do you think it's important to keep these mental health supports available to Canadians, even as we return to the new normal life?
