Mr. Speaker, I assure the member opposite that I share his concern.
Our government is 100% committed to fully funding this three-digit mental health crisis and suicide prevention hotline.
The ongoing consultations by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission will help identify barriers and, should any be identified, determine how best to address them. We look forward to the outcome of this proceeding.
The CRTC process will also inform our understanding of the resources necessary to implement a three-digit number.
In the meantime, the Canada Suicide Prevention Service will continue to make direct and immediate suicide prevention support available to people across Canada. Anyone can talk to a trained responder in French or English 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
