I'm concerned also, Mr. Chair, that the effectiveness will not be evaluated for five years. I think if they're going to put forward an initiative, and there is an interest in significantly helping the serious issue of childhood obesity, then we need to have a plan, at least. I don't in any way think this is nearly adequate in stemming the tide, but at least we'd like to see some accountability in here, not have it evaluated in five years' time. I think that's far too long. This is too serious an issue, and the implications are too serious for our children.
We need to know what this is doing in terms of the issue of childhood obesity. Are more children participating as a result of the children's fitness tax credit, or is it the same children? This needs to be tracked to have any value.
Do you not think we should be doing this in a shorter timeline? Do you feel we should be using this in a way that can have some positive impact on our children and their health, or just as a tax credit? Tax credits are tax credits. To me, this should carry the accountability component and give us some statistics. That's something this committee is looking to do from this report, so we can have a positive reversal trend.
