This is a really difficult question.
I would say that the historical legacy of Indian residential schools and those policies are at the foundation of this. That's why the focus on culture and rebuilding culture, and giving back control to first nations and Inuit organizations to build their own programs and services is very important.
The Prime Minister met with leaders last summer to talk about this. Since then, a number of sad events have happened. Of course, since last June we have been implementing additional investments in mental wellness across the country. This includes three important elements.
First is sending a mental crisis intervention team to be able to support communities that are facing a crisis. This is the surge capacity when there is a crisis.
Second are the mental wellness teams to build ongoing service and support; to develop strategies at the community level; to be able to deal with it, prevent it, redress it, and to deal with healing prior to a crisis. It's not only crisis response.
The third element was a crisis line to enable people to reach out in their language, in English, in French, in Inuktitut, or in Cree, and to be able to access a counsellor at all times, 24 hours per day, if they are facing a crisis.
There were a number of preventive actions taken last summer, but also a number of responsive actions to the stage of crisis that, unfortunately, exists in communities.
