Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you all for being here today.
My first question is picking up a bit on what Ms. Duncan was talking about, but suicide generally, not only in first nations and Inuit communities. We know that suicide is a significant form of intentional injury in Canada, particularly for first nations and Inuit Canadians, but also for youth. Then we also see links with a rising rate of suicide with seniors and suicide with gay/lesbian and transgender youth.
There isn't a national strategy to address suicide, as far as I know. We've been looking. So I'm wondering, is the government considering one? If yes, tell us about it. I'd be excited. If no, why not? I know a lot of community groups, a lot of civil society groups, have been saying this is what we need. We need a coordinated approach.
