Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Minister, thank you again for agreeing to appear.
Before discussing another topic, I'll come back to what you said in response to questions from my colleague, Ms. Barron. You confirmed that your efforts to implement the national action plan and standards were delaying the allocation of money. However, those financial resources are what's most urgently needed to help victims and people suffering from mental health problems. The more standards that are added, the later the money is in arriving and the more it delays implementation of the plan, meaning that organizations don't have access to the help they need.
That said, I'd like to talk to you about the federal government's responsibility in helping young girls struggling with mental health issues.
My colleague Dominique Vien spoke about cyberbullying. Last week, I met with a member of the team that produced the documentary Backlash. The team is currently conducting an awareness campaign on cyber-violence and has put up an online petition people can sign. Their demand of the federal government is clear: stand up to giants like GAFAM—Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft—and pass a law to counter online hate and cyber-violence.
My colleague asked what the federal government could do to address cyber-violence. This group's demand is one example. Have you had discussions with your colleagues about this? What is the status of the bill to address online hate?
