Mr. Speaker, almost every major medical association has recognized physical activity as a primary solution for preventing and healing the vast majority of chronic illnesses in our society, including cancer, cardiac disease, lung disease, diabetes and so on.
Our country is more sedentary than ever. Our young people are moving less and less and hospitals are at a breaking point.
When will the government take a leadership role on physical activity so that we can shift to prevention instead of always waiting to treat illness?
