Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his ongoing advocacy. Our government has made historic investments in mental health through $5 billion in bilateral agreements with the provinces and territories, which now provides $600 million on an annual basis until 2027. We are engaging with the provinces and territories to inform the development of the new mental health transfer. We will need the help of all parties and a comprehensive evidence-based plan, including sharing data on indicators and outcomes. We remain fully committed to the additional $4.5 billion over five years to support the mental health of Canadians.
