Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for his compassionate question but also my colleague, the Minister of Employment, for her work with Canadians with disabilities, to understand and to be able to advocate for the need for better services for all people who are living with disabilities. The member referenced supports for mental health and I will remind the member that in fact we have been supporting provinces and territories with billions of dollars in transfers specifically for mental health support. We have worked with provinces and territories all through COVID-19 in a way that demonstrates there is a lot more we could all do collectively to make access to services and supports available no matter where people live. I am extremely excited about, for example, the potential of virtual care in a way that can assist in those situations.
