Blackstock: Why does the government continue to discriminate against little kids?"

The death rates were 25 per cent per year rising to close to 50 per cent over three years. Dr. Bryce said the deaths could be prevented if Ottawa provided equitable health care to 鈥淚ndians鈥� and implemented other reforms, such as improving ventilation and decreasing over-crowding at schools.

Bryce called Canada鈥檚 conduct 鈥渁 national crime.
