Health committee  I don't have those numbers available to me at this point. That's something I would have to bring back.

Health committee  My corrections background seems to be calling me back a little bit here, but I would like to give the opportunity to any of my colleagues on this panel who have more of an expertise in violence and mental health.

Health committee  Thank you for the question. The FASD national strategic projects fund funds $1.5 million annually to collaborate with key stakeholders and partners across Canada to develop nationally applicable tools, resources and knowledge that can be used to prevent FASD and improve outcomes for those who are already affected, including families and communities.

Health committee  We do offer the Canada prenatal nutrition program, which is a $26-million annual program to community-based groups. Through those community-based groups, we look to develop and deliver comprehensive culturally appropriate programs that promote health, including mental health. An example would be a program called “Nobody's Perfect,” where trained facilitators work with participants to increase their understanding of health behaviours and also to bring them in contact with community resources and services, including for mental health.

Health committee  I do work for the Public Health Agency. I have worked for Correctional Service Canada in the past. I don't have a response to that in my current role. You have my apologies. I can look at that and bring it back.

Health committee  I'll preface my response by saying that it's been three and a half years since I've worked for Correctional Service Canada. I can tell you that you're absolutely right that indigenous women are very much overrepresented in the federal correctional system. They do offer violence prevention programs there.
