You're a very kind chair.
When we came here this morning, I didn't think I'd get the opportunity in this committee to discuss one of my favourite topics, the issue of health promotion, twice in one day.
I was delighted to see in the Federation of Medical Women of Canada presentation your recommendation specifically concerning preventative health care and setting aside funding for an educational campaign.
We met for a couple of seconds before this meeting, Ms. Beck, and you mentioned Bill Tholl. I had the opportunity to work with Bill when I was on the board of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, and we've made a lot of progress on tobacco.
It's widely held by a lot of people now that obesity is the new tobacco. We need to make sure, particularly with our children, that we're promoting healthy lifestyles and healthy choices in schools.
