Mr. Speaker, the Movember campaign begins today.
The purpose of this campaign is to raise awareness for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, men's mental health, and suicide prevention. These are important issues for all of us, considering that one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, and one in of 10 men will suffer from serious depression. That is over 24 men in the House of Commons alone.
What can we do? We need to talk, ask, listen, encourage action, and check in.
I invite all my colleagues to take part in this campaign to raise awareness of men's health issues.
I challenge all the male members of this House to “grow a mo and save a bro”.
