Thank you.
The member raises a very important question. We are all very much focused on providing the kinds of supports for communities and individuals that we know are needed.
There are two things I would mention in response to the member's question about what we're doing at Health Canada as part of this process.
Budget 2010 expanded five years of coverage, essentially, for a series of prevention programs in a number of areas, including mental wellness, early childhood development, and youth suicide prevention, for example. We have a number of programs across the country. Some are in very targeted communities. For example, on youth suicide, we're working with 160 communities very specifically on this issue to try to provide prevention and support to communities. It varies community by community.
Our regions work with individual first nations and the people in those communities, and in some cases the AFN and others, to try to tailor the supports needed.
The member also raised the issue of the truth and reconciliation process. We are working very closely with that process to provide the supports we know are needed. As individuals come forward as a part of that process, they themselves need support. We've been working very closely to provide those supports. When the reconciliation commission is in a centre having discussions or hearings, we are very much there providing both health professional support and traditional support. The court has indicated that we must provide these. We are working very hard and have had some very good comments on the support we're providing under some very challenging circumstances, obviously.
