Thank you very much for your comments. There are a number of questions within those.
Clearly, I don't think it's a question of why have we waited so long; I think it's a question of dealing with a very complex issue where we need to understand the measures that will be most effective at addressing this complex set of underlying factors driving the dramatic gain in weight, not only among children but also among the Canadian population in general. We are attempting to do the right thing—not just things. We therefore need to do the appropriate research work that CIHR has put an increased focus on. We are doing the appropriate analyses.
With respect to your comment on front-of-package labelling, we need to make sure that what we do there, if anything, is in fact going to be effective and of assistance to Canadians. So it is a case of ensuring we are taking a thoughtful, analytical, and evidence-based approach to addressing this issue. So we are engaged in considerable work to look at those underlying factors and what we can do about them to result in successful change.
As I said in my opening remarks, we have a number of new initiatives we've put in place to in fact do this. We are going to be measuring those new initiatives in terms of their impact and, based on that, either modify them or encourage their implementation with our partners on a much broader scale.
If you'd like us to go into further detail on your point about front-of-package labelling, I'll refer your question to Mary L'Abbé.
