Thank you, Chair; and thank you to all the panellists for being here and sharing great testimony with us.
I have 18 years of experience in the health care field. As a diabetes educator, research coordinator and cardiology technologist, I know all the barriers and challenges we have, which Ms. Bains earlier explained.
Ms. Bains, you said you collaborate with the local schools to co-design culturally relevant healthy-eating activities for teachers and families. How will that have an impact on South Asians when the second-largest South Asian population is there, and one out of five people cannot speak English, and the median age is 39?
When I was in B.C. and I did the consultation in the summer, I met you. The question came out that when you are doing the classes, sometimes the kids can teach their parents. Therefore, will collaboration with the local schools to teach healthy eating have more impact?
