Madam Speaker, in my constituency mailer this month, I sent out a number of phone numbers for mental health support because it became clear the statistics were terrible: 42% of British Columbians have had a deterioration of mental health; 13% of British Columbians increased substance use as a coping tool for COVID; and 8% of British Columbians have experienced suicidal thoughts and feelings.
I wonder if my colleague believes that if we could get a clear criteria, a plan that shows when and how the government is going to open, we could give hope and really secure the mental health of Canadians.
