Back to the minister: I started off this session by telling the heartbreaking story of Kaitlyn Roth, who died by suicide. She was a bright, successful, beautiful young woman. Her transition from child to adult in the mental health system went tragically wrong.

I’ve been in contact with the Associate Minister of Mental Health and Addictions. I’m grateful that he has met with the family, and I believe that he listened to their pain.

Quite simply, Mike and Fiona Roth don’t want any other parent to experience this tragedy, because it was preventable.

Can the minister please share what the government is doing to ensure that mental health care is there when someone has the courage to ask for help and that that care and support is appropriate?
