I would only like to add one thing. We will meet with Dr. Després, of Quebec City, the Laval University researcher. He has handed out this little guide. Among the solutions we can apply to change our lifestyles, we can maintain a certain level of activity, monitor the food we eat and avoid smoking. These habits are part of his process. If the aboriginal community has a higher level of obesity than the non aboriginal community, we also have to help it. In Quebec, we educated people about the harmful effects of tobacco use, and look at the reduction in the number of heavy smokers. Legislation has been very proactive. I believe it is a series of initiatives that lead people to change their lifestyles. This can be found in a small brochure that was handed out to help people change their lifestyles.

Thank you very much.
