Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples: Presentation by Iris Allen, Executive Director and Margaret Webb, Community Health Adviser, Labrador Inuit Health Commission

This file contains a presentation by Iris Allen and Margaret Webb focusing on the problems created by the lack of health care services for Inuit people in Labrador. They discuss health problems created by substance abuse, family violence and inadequate housing. The speakers are particularly concerned with the physical and mental health of the youth of Labrador. They call on the Commission to increase financial and professional assistance to Labrador Inuit communities, and to ensure these communities have input in local health care programs. A question-and-answer period with the Commissioners follows the presentation.
