A Conservative MP is calling on Ottawa to set up a three-digit suicide prevention hotline that is easy to remember for those in crisis.

“When someone is ready to ask for help, a simple easy to remember 3 digit number can make the difference between a life lost or a life saved,” Todd Doherty, MP for Cariboo-Prince George, said on Twitter Nov. 6.
