I do not have any accurate figures, but I can tell you than in Quebec, the suicide rate is between 12 and 18 per 100,000 people. When a suicide rate of 130 is reported for a particular period, we have to take into account how many suicides occur each year and compare that to the total number of people in the armed forces. In other words, we have to look at the suicide rate and compare it with comparable people in the general population. The rate may be higher, or it may not be higher. That is the comparison that must be made in order to obtain this statistic or to come up with a meaningful number. To my knowledge, this has not been done.
