It's hard to say. I guess, again, the studies will prove that or not prove that.
I think we recognize now that it's very important to work together to address the issue of obesity, for example, and of course you correctly connected that to chronic diseases. As we know, there are connections between those two.
There is a lot of work going on across the lifespan on that front. I mentioned earlier some of the work on physical activity. The provinces and the federal government agreed to work together on health promotion just for the exact reasons you have raised, which is that all levels of government need to look at ways in which we can assist Canadians to be healthier, and the issue of increasing obesity is an example of why we need to do that.
So there is work under way now to look at ways to deal with interventions on the issue of obesity, most certainly in the Public Health Agency of Canada but really across all three levels of government.
One good example was the one you mentioned, Dr. Joanette, namely the age-friendly city movement, which Canada worked on with the WHO and is now in nine of our provinces as the basis for active aging. It looks at all kinds of issues in keeping people active but also making sure that the infrastructures are there in our communities, so that older people can continue to be active, for example.
