Mr. Chair, I also believe that it is important that we have a few additional meetings. There are some people we have not heard from. However, I do not quite agree with the list we have here. The provincial representatives are very important. For having heard him, I believe that Dr. Després, of Laval University, can provide us with a very different perspective on obesity. I also believe that it is very important to hear from the Canadian Medical Association. It is absolutely essential that we deal with theCanada's Food Guide, because it has governed our food habits for too many years. It is sent to dieticians in school, and they forward it to us. It is not a good food guide. It was not done according to what Canadians should eat, but according to their food habits. It is not a good guide.
