Absolutely. That's what I was trying to get at when I was saying I wasn't sure the tax piece would work by itself. It's nice to have people able to go and play hockey, but if the rinks are in bad shape, if you don't have the infrastructure for it to happen, then it's still not going to happen. To say not to put it into infrastructure or government spending, but totally into taxes, is probably not the answer. You need both. It needs to be multi-pronged. The issues around obesity and lack of physical activity are complicated. It's going to be a huge issue for this country, what with the rising rates of obesity right now.
