That table has a number of deaths (terminated) data set under the characteristics tab.
710 15-19 year olds died in 2018.
When statscan reports mortality per 1,000 for a specific age group, they use the population of that age group to calculate the rate, not the national population.
I'm actually shocked by how low mortality rates are in general tbh just looking at the statscan table. Did you know that only 18.84% of 90+ year olds died in 2019? Holy shit.

In 2018 there were 2,106,395 Canadians so 710 sounds legit. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1710000501
(710 / 2,106,395)*1000 = 0.34 0.34 rounds to 0.3.
