Mr. Speaker, last spring, in Montmorency—Charlevoix, there was a citizens' symposium on the subject of how to improve health.
Canadians are aware that our policies and systems do not seek to prevent disease. We always wait for something to happen. Sedentary lifestyles and chronic diseases cost taxpayers $3.9 billion and account for nearly 60% of deaths in Canada. This situation could be avoided.
It is 2025, and Canada still does not have a national physical activity strategy. How much longer will it take for the Liberal government to act on this important issue?
