Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I hear both arguments, from Senator Greene Raine and from Mr. Jones and Mr. Elliott.
Ms. Greene, I was with Mr. Weston and Mrs. Harper in May for the Trans Canada Trail. Clearly, from the angle you are taking, you seem to be talking about the way families behave with their kids. As a parent—now they're grown-ups—I remember saying, “That's a good movie, so it's going to be easy for 90 minutes; I'll have some time to breathe.”
The reality is that what you are actually saying is that it would be great that we make some quality sports time, quality time being moments to enjoy biking and doing these easy-access sports.
On the other hand, Mr. Jones, as a sports teacher...that's why I was asking Ms. Greene Raine. I don't know how to say that, professeur d'éducation physique.
The day that is being selected for that specific day is a Saturday. I understand it goes towards the families, and this is great. I think this has to be done day to day.
But in the schools there remains an issue of having fewer and fewer sports in the class curricula. Clearly, as you said many times, obesity is getting worrying and things have been changing. This committee has been facing these technological changes in the cultural world, and it affects, actually, the health situation of Canadians because there's so much in these little screens and people get stuck to them.
That day is to be aimed specifically at families, but how can teachers of sports jump in?
