Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, everyone. Your presentations were really very well worth hearing, and I certainly appreciate all your advice.
Over the years as a grade one teacher, an elementary teacher, I have worked with provincial governments and seen them put many programs into place to focus on proper eating, healthy eating, and ParticipAction with our children. As well, our government in 2003 passed the Physical Activity and Sport Act to encourage Canadians to increase their level of physical activity and healthy eating. As we all know, there's more and more stress being put on these two things as well.
But we've also seen that some of the most important barriers continue to increase, and they have put a kind of a slowdown to physical activity. We've seen that especially in schools, but still and all you usually have your 30 minutes of physical activity. But when you look at teenage older ones, and you look at adults and seniors, there are still a lot of barriers there that are preventing us from carrying on with the healthy eating and the healthy ParticipAction.
I'm just wondering what are some of the chief barriers that you see in any of those age groups, the twenties, the seniors, the adult ages, and how can we try to compensate and help them in this way.
