Thank you, Madam Chair.
I also want to thank the minister for taking the time out of your busy schedule to be with us here today, and also all the officials.
I also had the opportunity to participate in the drug shortages debate that we had last night. I want to thank Health Canada for the role it is playing and also, under the leadership of the minister, for doing a tremendous job. I have full confidence that issue will be addressed in the very near future.
My question, Minister, is related to obesity. Canada is facing an obesity epidemic. I understand that addressing childhood obesity is a complex problem, but I believe it is critical we do so. I believe that all sectors of society and all levels of government will have to work together to find the solutions.
I understand that you recently participated in a summit on healthy weights. What was that all about, and will it help us to address this issue?
