No, no. I have lots of them here.
Let me take a step back. I would say to you that in terms of our science underpinning this, the Susan Barrs, the Katherine Gray-Donalds, Stan Zeotkin at Sick Kid's, Valerie Tarasuk at U of T.... You're going to actually be seeing Valerie Tarasuk this Thursday. You'll want to ask her about her involvement in this process.
These are people who came to us, who are guiding us not from any vested interest. You're saying to me that they have done research and sit on an advisory board, so they're not objective, but in fact what we're looking for from these people is advice. It's very clear that we do the background, we do the work, we come forward, we take direction and advice. It's not to go back and add another product X or product Y, but rather to say, here's what you need to understand about the science that I understand and the perspective that I bring to the table. It's that range of perspectives that you really want in your advisory committee, and you do it by design, in fact. You do it philosophically, because you want to understand and garner from people a range of perspectives that aren't all aligned with your own.
I can only say to you that in the group that you see here, of the people back there, none of us in this business wants to produce anything but a food guide that meets Canadians' needs, that they understand, and that provides advice that, when followed, will absolutely provide them with the health and well-being and reduced risk of chronic disease they so deserve.
An earlier comment said that we seem to be preoccupied with nutrient adequacy. We are not. If I leave you with one thought, it is that the chronic disease prevention components of this guide are every bit as important to us as the nutrient adequacy.
You have a couple of options. You either put together a food guide that's going to provide the nutrients that you need to be healthy at a reasonable energy cost so you can maintain a healthy body weight, or you look up at your population and say, very generally, this is sort of what you should eat--have a little bit of this, more of that, and take a vitamin pill. Those are your options. We've chosen to provide a pattern of eating that will meet your nutrient needs, lower your risk of chronic disease, and allow you to enjoy eating from a range of foods and support your own health.
I can only say to you, with everything I am, that the process we've driven and the people who are advising us are there to provide us with a range of opinions so that we understand the various dimensions of this issue and can move forward.
