The suicide rates for our aboriginal youth, especially on reserve, are significantly higher than those in the rest of Canada and also of other countries. It is not a story we're proud of.
We're working actively with the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch in Health Canada. We're working actively from the Public Health Agency with them on interventions and programs that may work, that may help to bring down the suicide rates. There have been some very successful examples, largely by giving the youth hope, by improving the governance in the communities, by giving them a future and alternatives. But it is not a short process.
