I do. Actually, I am a fan.
Just to go back, there are two aspects to your question.
At the elementary school level, we instituted 20 minutes of mandatory daily physical activity, in addition to physical education class, which on average is three times a week in Ontario.
We have to work with our education ministry to see what we can do in the high schools, because it stops at high school, and you're only required to take one physical education credit.
But we also have to make sure that gym, or physical education class, is fun. I was the kid who was always chosen last in class to join a team. And I could never make it up the rope—you know, that terrible rope you climb. Then when I did try to make it up, I burned on the way down. It wasn't a pleasant experience. A lot of kids get turned off physical education, because it's not a fun experience. We've got to change that.
The other thing is that with respect to nutrition, there are very few school boards in the country, of which I'm aware, offering what used be called Home Ec, where you were taught nutrition, and so on. In many respects, we have to go back and look at those kinds of programs, because parents are busy, as my colleague from Quebec pointed out. Two members of the family are working. There aren't as many home-cooked meals. It's a lot easier to call a pizza company and get a pizza delivered than it is to have a healthy meal.
The schools play a vital role. That's why we took junk-food vending machines out of elementary schools. That's why we also took out the pop machines. A lot of those machines were revenue generators for school programs. But they were replaced with water, 100% juices, and so on, and there hasn't been a discernible difference in revenue.
The other thing I do want to say is that I've had discussions with Tony Clement and Michael Chong with respect to ParticipAction and the old Canada fitness award program, in which we used to get the bronze, gold, and silver patches. I think it should be competitive, but based on how you've improved over the year, as opposed to how many sit-ups you do next to someone who's more talented, and so on.
I think ParticipAction is a good idea, but it should be coordinated with the provinces, so that we're not out spending money on one series of commercials and you're spending money on another.
We've left you our commercial. I think we have disks of the notgoingtokillyou.ca commercial, which I hope you get a chance to look at.
