I'm not sure that we're lacking programs. I think there are lots of great programs, and I think the Public Health Agency has invested in significant programs that are demonstrating value.
I think what we're lacking is an overall coordinated approach. We have a policy framework that's not being actioned, and I think there is a bit of a disconnect between the federal and the provincial/territorial governments. I know this is not typical just for physical activity; I think it's probably typical for all government business when you have to work together, but I think we have to put those issues aside. We have to look at the common good will that we're all trying to achieve. We have to figure out ways to work together and not wait for the others to step up.
My challenge to you would be the same challenge to provincial and territorial ministers whom I met with recently at their conference: We need leadership. We need leadership at a federal level and we need leadership at a provincial/territorial level. I certainly think that there is a role for the federal government to play—a significant role—but I also think that you can't do it alone. You need the provinces and territories to be there to support.
