Mr. Speaker, this week Bell ran another successful Let's Talk campaign to raise money and awareness for mental health.
During this campaign, I was reminded of the veterans who have fought and sacrificed for this country and who suffer from a mental illness. Our veterans need to have easily accessible facilities where they can talk to qualified professionals about mental health.
Our Conservative government supports the existing 17 mental health clinics across Canada, soon to be joined by eight additional ones. Our government has also partnered with the True Patriot Love Foundation, which has now given the largest single philanthropic donation to mental health research in Canadian history.
When we talk of mental health, I call on all members of the House to please remember and support our veterans.
