M-116 Better access to mental health services

That, in the opinion of the House, for the purpose of further promoting better access to mental health services, the government should work to strengthen Canadians’ access to online mental health services referenced through Government of Canada websites by:

(a) developing a mechanism to instruct Employment and Social Development Canada to work with Health Canada to properly reference and provide Government of Canada website users with relevant mental health supports links on subjects that are deemed to be likely to require such supports;

(b) encouraging Employment and Social Development Canada and Health Canada to create a list of the subjects mentioned in (a) to determine where mental health supports are needed; and

(c) ensuring health supports and website links are routinely updated as required to ensure the most relevant services are provided where necessary.
