When dealing with a tragedy of a child, the responsibility of government and Parliament is to make sure that there is an independent, fulsome investigation, which the coroner of Ontario is leading, supported by the OPP. That young man, Landyn, has every right and deserves this investigation for his family and for his mother.

That’s why, to the member’s question of what is new, this government stepped up with an investment that took effect this year, specifically to deal with the consistent training of our staff with respect to children that require a plan of care. Every school board is required to have that.

Interjection.

I would hope the members opposite would allow that investigation to take place without the inclination of trying to exploit it for their own political—

Interjections.

We have expanded the Rapid Response Northern School Teams, with an $800,000 expansion this specific year, to assist with respect to connecting access to mental health supports for families and communities, particularly for our children in the most remote parts of Ontario.

We have stepped up with an overall investment in mental health. Because of the parliamentary assistant and the member from Burlington, we have expanded a mental health module developed by SickKids in school mental health. We also have ensured there is culturally responsive mental health services for Indigenous peoples.

We will continue to work with the member opposite and all members to ensure the safety of those in the most remote parts of Ontario.

I have a petition to adequately fund the Ontario public school system. This is a particularly important petition considering the recent tragedy that we saw with Landyn passing in the school system.

This petition highlights the fact that we have a mental health crisis in Ontario’s schools and that we also need to make sure that there are supportive, caring adults in classrooms so that we don’t continue to see the kind of tragedies that we have seen here in this province. We want to make sure that the Minister of Education meets their obligation when it comes to funding public education and does not continue to rob children of their right to access safe education in our public school system.

This is a very important petition, again, given the recent tragedy.

I’m going to add my name to this petition and give it to Hosanna to take to the table.
