I would say that the health promotion programs are very important, particularly with respect to first nations people, and particularly with respect to first nations people on reserve.
Aboriginal people, Métis, and first nations people who are off reserve often fall between the cracks, because nobody--neither the federal government nor the provinces--really knows how to deal with them.
Programs are important, and I think we need to take seriously the health concerns of first nations people. By pretty much every measure, their health outcomes are much worse than those of the mainstream Canadian population, and that fact really does need to be addressed.
The federal government has a role to play there directly under the first nations and Inuit health branch of Health Canada, which does both health promotion and health services delivery to first nations people.
