Mr. Speaker, Canadians already pay some of the highest prices in the world for telecom services. The Rogers-Shaw merger will lead to decreased competition, a greater monopoly, job losses and higher prices for everyone. It is not too late to stop this merger which will only hurt Canadian families whose budgets are already very tight. Will the minister side with major corporations or defend the interests of Canadians by blocking this merger immediately?

Madam Speaker, there is another crisis underlying the discussion we are having right now, and that is the mental health crisis in this country. The government promised to put funding in place for Canadians to get help, but the Liberals have really been dragging their feet on that. I would like to hear my colleague's thoughts on the current situation. Does she think the government should provide more resources and make sure that mental health issues really are recognized as a serious problem?

Madam Speaker, as members know, more and more Canadians are speaking about the concerns that have been raised across the country about the lack of supports for mental health. We are in the midst of a mental health crisis. We are not seeing adequate resources, by any means, being applied to help address the needs that so many Canadians have. It is very relevant to the debate we are having tonight. Does my honourable colleague feel we need to be putting those supports in place immediately so that Canadians who are experiencing challenges around mental health get the support they need and deserve?
