Health committee  Thank you. In our office, we actually developed the guidelines that define BMI and the importance of waist circumference as a measure, because it certainly is central adiposity that increases risk. The issue of BMI was simply to say to you that the energy requirement formulas ar

Health committee  Le coût, yes. Cost is a tricky question. I can tell you what it's going to cost to print it. We're going to print four million copies, at a cost of $200,000. But that cost is the cost of the paper and printing, that's not—

Health committee  Absolutely. I think it's a very good question. We'll get you that information. I don't have that with me.

Health committee  I couldn't agree with you more. In fact, that is what we're looking at in terms of making many languages available on the website. The issue is not that we don't think it should be.

Health committee  Yes. As I said, we have a collection of about 26 different languages and adaptations that already exist on the 1992 food guide. So absolutely, we collect them, we're interested in them, and we dialogue with them. The next question is why, when we come out with the 2007, we cann

Health committee  Let me start, and Danielle can pick up on this, because I found it very interesting. I actually asked what's high? What exactly is high?

Health committee  Three glasses a day. I would actually then say to you that I went back to our nutritional epidemiologist, who has done work on looking at the relationship between chronic disease and health outcomes. We actually went through what was said in the two major reports that we looked a

Health committee  Thank you.

Health committee  Help me, guys. Is there another piece here? We heard that we weren't doing a good enough job at giving direction to Canadians around their choice of fats--here's a good one, their choice of fats. We heard that, we've gone back, we've really tightened that up, and we've really g

Health committee  Absolutely. I can say that, absolutely. I actually reviewed what you received, and I thought, isn't this interesting? There is nothing here that's a surprise. There's nothing here that would cause me a moment's pause. Part of this is how one puts this all together. Let me just

Health committee  Absolutely, they're not all bad, which is why we actually have an amount of essential fatty acids, and fats and oils, included in our pattern. But when we focus on fat and reduced fat in dairy and meat, what we're doing is attacking saturated fat. That's what that's about. When

Health committee  No, I'm just saying that the issue is very dead-on. Canadians consume a large percentage of their energy--22% for ages 4 to 18, that we know from CCHS 2.2--from foods that aren't part of your basic food supply. I will repeat what I said earlier. This food guide is talking about t

Health committee  Your last point was to table what?

Health committee  That was a part of our consultation. In fact, we had an online consultation, which was also supported by regional meetings.

Health committee  Okay. You've asked for that, and it's on its way, because it's left our--
