Liberals will release their full election platform Wednesday, a day ahead of the first televised leadership debate of the summer campaign. In the 2019 election, Liberals released their platform on Sept. 29 — 18 days after the campaign began. Liberals will also fund a national, three-digit mental health crisis and suicide prevention hotline, an idea previously championed by Conservative MP Todd Doherty. "No matter who you are, you deserve the right support, and that includes mental health." Mental health is a key priority for all parties in light of the isolation and grief experienced during the pandemic.
