Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his ongoing advocacy. Our government has made historic investments in mental health through $5 billion in bilateral agreements with the provinces and territories, which now provides $600 million on an annual basis until 2027. We are engaging with the provinces and territories to inform the development of the new mental health transfer. We will need the help of all parties and a comprehensive evidence-based plan, including sharing data on indicators and outcomes. We remain fully committed to the additional $4.5 billion over five years to support the mental health of Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for all of his hard work on curbing climate change. Through Northern Affairs, our government has made historic investments of more than $167 million to fund renewable energy, monitor climate change on the land and address the impacts of sea ice change, permafrost melting, flooding and wildfires. We recently announced $300 million to ensure rural, remote and indigenous communities can move off diesel and be powered by clean and reliable energy by 2030. We will keep making those investments and partnering with territories and indigenous governments to do the right thing.
