Thank you, Madam Chair. I think physical activity is great and if the Minister did take part in the routine, he could be sweaty with the rest of the kids for the balance of the day. That's not a really good way to start out your day, is to get the activity, sweat, and then sit there and try to get instructed in mathematics or English or whatever subject you're taking and sit there. I think we need to get kids into a gymnasium, into where they can actually work up a sweat, participate in sports, and then have the ability to go in and clean themselves up, have a shower, and go back to learn some more.
I'd like to ask the Minister if he could get, and I'm sure the department has the statistics on this, but over the past 10 years has there been a decline in the amount of time that students...and you can start at Grade 1 and go through until Grade 9, I guess. That's when gym becomes an option, after Grade 9. What has been the decline in time that kids actually get to spend in a gymnasium with a dedicated physical education teacher? Thank you.
