As Dr. Groff and Ms. Heatley said, an all-ages injury prevention strategy has been called for by ThinkFirst Canada and its partners for many years. It was a welcome announcement, then, when the federal Speech from the Throne called for such a strategy for children and youth. The funding of strategic teams and research was also a welcome announcement, and we're also very much looking forward to the renewal and enforcement of Canada's product safety legislation.
We have great opportunities in Canada to lower the incidence of preventable injury. We look forward to opportunities, with increased resources and partnerships, to support greater injury prevention efforts. This can be better achieved with funding at a level more commensurate with the health burden that injury has on our society and in keeping with the resources dedicated to other comparable health issues.
What we would really like to see is resources to sustain a home to lead evidence-informed pan-Canadian action on injury. So we'd like to see that comprehensive approach that Alison referred to. We'd like to see it streamlined with a healthy living strategy. We'd like to see health literacy, including injury prevention, in all Canadian schools. We'd like to see safer sports and recreation so that our kids are healthy, active, and safe, so at the same time as combating obesity we're also addressing injury issues.
In public policy for a safer Canada, we have a lot of opportunities there. Of course, we'd also like to see continued injury prevention research and evaluation.
