Thank you.
As I stated earlier, for the first time provinces and territories have agreed to a declaration to work collaboratively to address the issues of childhood obesity across the country. A number of projects are being rolled out by jurisdictions. Our government, through the Public Health Agency of Canada, is working with each jurisdiction to start addressing and working in partnership in the areas of research, diabetes prevention, healthy eating, the food guide--a number of initiatives across the country.
We're also working with the industry around trans fat. There are also other areas, like sodium and whatnot. Another area that I know some jurisdictions are quite interested in pursuing is the direct marketing of unhealthy foods to our children, just as the tobacco industry was targeting its products to our children for profit margins, of course. There is some work and awareness being raised across the country looking at the pieces that contribute to childhood obesity. The research on that work is quite exciting.
Perhaps I'll have Dr. Butler-Jones talk about some of the examples of projects that are currently under way to do that.
