I'll make a couple of brief comments.
As one of my colleagues here alluded to—I think it was Dr. Reichman—the issue of obesity in this country or the issue of poor diets I think is not unique to the aboriginal population. I think it really is a crisis across all groups. In truth, I think both researchers and governments and communities need to come up with a much more coherent and successful strategy if we're going to change health behaviours.
The other issue is the fact that there is a very significant body of literature at the population health level that tells us that at a general level, as people's economic prosperity rises, their health improves. So in some respects, with the aboriginal populations, it's a health question; it becomes a question of economic and social well-being and policies to ensure that the aboriginal populations' economic and social prosperity rises. As that rises, some of the health problems we see now will not necessarily disappear, but the older aboriginal population will increasingly look like the non-aboriginal population with respect to their health.
