Absolutely. I want to thank the member for her question.
During the pandemic, the federal government made a bold move, understanding that Canadians were struggling with their own mental health, and opened the Wellness Together portal. This not only included online services with tools and resources for self-assessment, but also online services for counselling and other important evidence-based and comprehensive tools for mental health. We know it was a lifeline for many.
Just today, I was part of the Frayme forum, which is a youth mental health network that works specifically in the digital space. Going back to your question about youth, youth are accessing their information and their health care through digital platforms. We have to make sure that those spaces are safe and evidence-based and, again, meet our young people where they are.
I think virtual care is a key component in how we are forward-thinking in how we deliver health care services and mental health services. However, it also means that we can service rural and remote communities that wouldn't necessarily have the opportunity for in-person clinicians.
