It is a disgrace that 17 countries surpass us in terms of injury prevention. Incidentally, injury rates in Canada have dropped by 40 percent since 1980; this shows that we have made improvements. The other countries, however, are still better.
At the Agency, we are studying the approaches implemented by the other countries, the majority of which are European. Nordic countries, for example, have implemented more dynamic methods. Our territory presents a problem that is particular to us. The injury rate in the North is higher. If we did not take this into consideration, our position would have been more favourable.
