Mr. Speaker, I have had the same question through the whole debate today, and that is, as I have said before, that we all know that access to mental health supports varies by one's residence, by one's income and by one's ethnicity. People have trouble accessing mental health services. Would the hon. member support making mental health services fully part of the Canada Health Act, so that we can equalize access to mental health services in the country?

Mr. Speaker, it is very clear that there is a class, racial and geographic aspect to being able to access mental health services. We have a problem for people in rural and remote communities. We have a problem in indigenous communities. We also have a problem for those who cannot pay for their services. As a way of also attacking this problem, would the member support making mental health services fully a part of the Canada health care plan?
