Yes, I'm happy to do so.
It is clear that indigenous people in this country are disproportionately impacted by this crisis. In B.C. and Alberta, you're looking at an impact of five to seven times the rate of non-indigenous people.
For us at Indigenous Services Canada, we're really trying to connect people to services and to harm reduction products. That includes naloxone, but specifically opioid agonists, which we've been talking about today. We've been trying to access wraparound sites. Basically, 82 sites across the country are delivering opioid agonist treatment in over 100 communities.
We're also trying to get mental wellness teams. Jennifer Saxe mentioned that continuum of services. Those mental wellness teams are there. There are 75 of them serving 385 communities across the country.
What we're trying to do there is to get people to go through withdrawal management first, to stabilize people first, and then move them through opioid agonist treatment. It's also on-the-land training, healing centres, connecting them with culture and, really, what comes after. After they've gone through their treatment, what can we do to support people in a more longitudinal way?
We're really looking at innovative systems. We have an interesting pilot happening right now in Ontario. Most indigenous populations are in rural and remote areas, so we are trying to connect them with new virtual supports. The Oculus headset is one of them, where people can have access to wraparound services.
