Mr. Speaker, this is suicide prevention week in Quebec, and I would like to acknowledge the exceptional work done by the stakeholders in my riding of Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, as well as all the work done in the greater Longueuil area.
On November 11, 2014, I invited some mental health professionals to a round table in order to identify best practices for suicide prevention.
Today I am very pleased to act as a spokesperson for those stakeholders and call on the government to grant mental health organizations the resources they need to create a network of significant, positive and constructive support.
We have to work even harder to ensure that mental illness is not ignored. It is time to invest in the psychological health and well-being of Canadians.
