First of all, I would like to thank all the witnesses for their insight on the crisis we are all facing today.
My question is for Isadore Day or Carol Hopkins. In Alberta, three bands of the Stoney Nakoda reported in July of this year that nearly 60% of their adult population was struggling with opioid addiction. In 2015, the Blood Tribe also declared a state of emergency on this issue. What factors do indigenous Canadians face that increase their likelihood of suffering from opioid addiction?
