Replying to Matt Jeneroux (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, we are facing a men’s mental health crisis. Too many men and boys face mental health challenges, and too many simply will not ask for help. Last week, we once again hosted an annual Father’s Day on the Hill event with Movember, where Montreal Canadiens great Guy Carbonneau shared his story and talked about the recent loss of his friend and teammate Claude Lemieux. As we mark Men’s Health Month in June, can the Minister of Health provide an update on the much anticipated men and boys’ health strategy?”
