Mr. Speaker, the evidence shows that one of the best ways to combat cancer is to prevent cancer, which is why we are focusing on healthy eating initiatives and encouraging people to get their exercise. We are doing this in partnership with a number of different groups. There is fantastic work being done by sports and recreation, Sport North, the Department of MACA, to encourage people to be active. ITI is doing a number of fantastic things with respect to supporting agriculture as an economy, but also supporting small local gardens. We have had a number of individuals apply for money through the anti-poverty funding to support community gardens. So we are trying to encourage people to eat healthy, be active, and live healthy. But also, we are encouraging people to get early screening. We are working with communities on finding ways to encourage people. What is it going to take to encourage people to attend the Well Woman and Well Man on a regular basis in order to get that screening done early?
