Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Cancer Strategy actually does come with a number of items that are falling from the strategy itself. The strategy includes specific supports to help communities, help individuals, make healthy choices by focusing on healthy eating through gardening and education, continuing to hold sharing circles, which we have seen has been quite effective in helping people deal with the issues. We do have funding that we have provided to different communities to support tobacco prevention for youth. The strategy commits us to find ways to increase education awareness so people can take advantage of cancer screening at the end of the day. Mr. Speaker, it is going to be incredibly important for people to attend the Well Man and Well Woman clinics to get early diagnosis. Early diagnosis is going to give us better results. There are a number of things that are direct actions that are available to communities and regions to help us fight and prevent cancer as much as possible. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
