Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I do feel we have an obligation here, as a federal government, to play a leadership role in conjunction with the provinces and territories--without question.
This was touched on by the last speaker. Would it not be appropriate and necessary to encourage through these mechanisms a mandatory amount of time that students would participate in physical eduction?
I know when I was young, if not every day, it was almost every day. Sometimes it wasn't greeted so warmly, but it was very important, just as other activities, such as spelling, etc., were integral parts of the curriculum.
