Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mesdames, thank you for coming to meet with us this afternoon.
I understand from your remarks this afternoon that, apart from new structures, you need funding to enable each of the provinces to put in place programs and projects that meet the needs of the communities in the various locations. What Nova Scotia and British Columbia are doing is headed precisely in that direction.
Ms. Gabbani asked how new funding could be obtained. I recommend that the amounts related to the Canada Health and Social Transfer be restored to a level that would enable the provinces to meet their obligations, particularly with regard to health.
It's not necessary to set up new structures and new strategies to share information, since, next Monday, we'll be teleconferencing with people from the United Kingdom to share information on ways of combating juvenile obesity.
I have two brief questions to ask. The first is for Professor McKay. I imagine you have had to work to put Action Schools! BC in place. You're currently conducting a longitudinal study to determine whether that program meets the various criteria for success and how to improve it. Am I mistaken? No.
Do you share your research findings with your colleagues from other universities in Canada, North America and around the world?
