Mr. Speaker, the COVID‑19 pandemic has taken a toll on the mental and physical health of public servants and many Canadians. Public servants have nevertheless faithfully served Canadians throughout the pandemic and continue to do so. How is the government working with the unions to strengthen health care supports for public servants?

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my hon. colleague from Vaughan—Woodbridge for his hard work and for his excellent French. I have good news: We have approved a new public service health care plan that will improve support for members without any additional cost to taxpayers. Some significant changes will help improve support to the 2SLGBTQI+ community. In addition, mental health care support will double to $5,000 a year. We know that we can achieve great things together and we worked with the unions and pensioners to come to this agreement.
