Human Resources committee  We didn't focus much on the older age groups, but there are a lot of decreases in accidents. As you were saying, some improvements in safety could account for some of the decreases we've seen.

Human Resources committee  It becomes very complex, because there are all these different terms for different periods. On the last slide, we talked about the perinatal mortality rate, and perinatal would include late-term stillborns after 28 weeks and also live births up to six days.

Human Resources committee  The increase is on slide 10?

Human Resources committee  I would prefer suggesting that colleagues at the Public Health Agency answer those questions. We don't have the background or expertise in that field to really offer an answer.

Human Resources committee  SIDS, or sudden infant deaths, or sudden and unexpected deaths, would be investigated by the coroners and medical examiners. The definition of SIDS is essentially that after all the investigations—they've done an autopsy and looked at everything—they cannot conclude what the infant died of.

Human Resources committee  That's how they felt. I can't really speak for them, but yes.

Human Resources committee  I will take over from here. The next slide we'll be looking at is a chart that identifies the breakdown of youth deaths in Canada by age group in 2016. There were 267,000 deaths in 2016. Of these, 3,120 were youths aged between zero and 19 years. This represents 1% of all deaths.
