Mr. Speaker, it is with sadness that we express our love and support for Constable Yang's family. Constable Yang was sadly murdered while she was courageously doing her job. This has to stop. This is one of a series of murders of our police officers as part of a larger violent crime wave. What changes will the Prime Minister make to policies to put this crime wave to an end?

Mr. Speaker, our hearts go out to the family of Constable Yang and to the community, not just in B.C. but right across the country, as we know we have seen murdered police officers in Ontario and elsewhere across the country as well. We need to do more to step up on our mental health funding, as the hon. member before mentioned. We need to make sure that we are giving our frontline police officers the tools to be supported as they encounter difficult situations. We need to make sure they are not the only mental health workers out there accessible to so many people. Unfortunately they have been. They have been extraordinary at it, but we need to provide better support. The provinces and the federal government need to work together to fund more mental health supports.
