Director, Public Health, Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services

I do not have the numbers in my head, but I can give you the information.

Mr. Chair, we can send you socio-demographic information regarding the Nunavik population.

We have what we call an inverted pyramid in Nunavik, because of the high natality rate that we have. I don't think this will change. I think the population is young, with a high natality rate right now, so we're probably going to have 50% of our population under 19 years of age for a long time.
