Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the officials for all the hard work you've been doing over the past two years. We appreciate that.
We have been talking about COVID-19 a lot and the impacts on the broader society, but I am glad that we're focusing in on children, given that children are naturally some of the most vulnerable people in society and don't often get invited to the decision-making table. I'm glad that we're focusing on this for a little while. My questions are going to focus on health and fitness, food nutrition and physical activity, those sorts of things.
Mr. Aziz, I see that you're online, and you and I have had a couple of discussions on this very important topic. There are three plans that I would like to focus in on, the national school food program, front-of-pack labelling and ending marketing to kids. Could you just elaborate on that and perhaps update us on any current initiatives being undertaken to help young Canadians and their families maintain healthy and physically active lifestyles?
I'll just note before I pass it along that the vast majority of children in Canada get most of their physical activity at school, and there's also a great opportunity to make sure that they get a healthy meal at school as well and improve the quality of the physical activity that they get at school. Please outline, if you could, some of our initiatives as a government and some of the work we've done to date on those.
