I'm going to answer in English.
The barriers exist because we are developing brand new systems in this country. There was a structure that for the most part existed at the individual school level, with volunteers offering something in a school context, and we are now at a time when, in most provinces and territories, we are talking about having a school food program, and for just over a year, and maybe less than a year in some contexts
Schools now are developing those systems. They're putting in the infrastructure. They are communicating with families. They are developing all of what we need in order to have really strong school food programs in the future. The barriers are around those things.
As time goes on, more children participate. From my own research in working quite closely in the largest school division in my province, I can tell you that as families see themselves in school food programs, they're more willing to participate. The stigma reduces when programs are being offered to all children and not targeted at kids who are perceived as needing a program, when the food offered is culturally appropriate, and when, if there are dietary restrictions, those are taken into consideration in those programs.
