I would love to.
Transfer payments probably aren't the only way to go. There is a lot of small “p” politics when it comes to transfer payments, in my humble experience.
If you used very neutral brands, like PHE Canada, or ParticipACTION, and deployed $1.5 million a year, with at least a three- to five-year commitment, you could be in every school in the country--at least grades 4, 5, and 6. That's where we would start this program. Schools wouldn't baulk. It wouldn't be mandated from the federal government or pushed down their throats. It would support what they are trying to do anyway--their mandates and missions.
It wouldn't get caught up in the politics of transfer payments, and it would be national in scope. It would be designed by each province and territory, for the most part, so that it was relevant in each province and territory but had a national feel to it. It would go in with very neutral brands, like PHE Canada and ParticipACTION.
I actually believe that is a way to resolve the barriers you were just talking about.
