Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member raises a good point, and the fundamental issue that we always keep in mind is that the cornerstone of healthy children and strong communities is a strong family and parents that are actively involved in their children's lives. That's a first step. There is funding available for application through the Minister responsible for Youth, in some cases. There's money in MACA. There are school programs with facilities that are usually open in the evenings for extracurricular activities. Many teachers volunteer; many people in the communities volunteer as coaches and work with the children in the various sports that are there. So there is opportunity in every community, I would suggest, for parents and children and interested volunteers to get involved. Thank you.
