Statement on World Mental Health Day

Please read the following statement from Elizabeth May, MP for Saanich–Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Canada, recognising World Mental Health Day:

“No one is healthy when they struggle with mental health. Every year on October 10, all around the planet, we recognize “World Mental Health Day.” This year’s theme is “Mental Health at Work.” Workplaces should support and foster a supportive and respectful environment. Working daily in Canada’s Parliament, I experience the opposite, a place where bullying and toxicity are allowed to thrive. Do your part and stand up for Mental Health at Work!”
