Canadian Aboriginal people's health and the Kelowna deal.

The article reports that Canada's government has cancelled the Kelowna deal, a project worth 5.1 billion Canadian dollars, aimed at improving health care for Canada's aboriginal people. The move has led to protest from aboriginal leaders and Canada's former Prime Minister Paul Martin. Aboriginal people in Canada have a 20% higher infant mortality rate, a greater risk of type II diabetes, and suicide rates 11 times higher than the general population. Shortly after the deal was signed Martin was voted out of office and replaced by a Conservative government that will not acknowledge the deal.
