We have not done a study on suicide because there can be multiple causes and it is very difficult to establish a causal link in such cases. That is why we believe that by placing great emphasis on diagnosing injuries, we can help avoid suicides. As you have indicated, the data we have received from the Canadian Forces concern people who have committed suicide within military facilities. In cases where people committed suicide after having left the Canadian Forces, it is impossible for us to know if there was a link.
