Thank you very much for being here.
It's good to hear from you and always delightful to see you, Senator Greene Raine.
You all touched on the whole issue of sedentary behaviour.
Senator Raine, you mentioned the issue of good food, kids not getting good food, eating sometimes some pretty terrible stuff.
We heard just in the last few days from one of our Quebec members that 30 years ago, Quebec banned ads for junk food directed at children under 13 and that the childhood obesity rate has been reduced by 17%. That seems to me to be a very good step. When I was teaching I fought against this tooth and nail, the ads for soft drinks and chips and things in the schools. Because schools were lacking in money, they had been cut back in terms of their budgets, and they were actually engaging in ads over the in-circuit systems in the schools with companies that were advertising these things. We pushed back against it and I think it was a good thing to push back—
