Thank you, Madam Chair. One program I think I would point to is the healthy choices initiative where we work closely with education and health on programming around after-school physical activity. One of the things we learned in our business is that young people can get in a lot of trouble between 3:30 and 5:00, when nobody is watching, and this program was specifically designed based on research around that targeted youth group. What we offer through working with schools and other service providers, youth centres or those kind of things, is an opportunity for structured programming between that period of time. As part of that, we are also offering healthy food snacks and things like that that are consistent with nutrition objectives. The idea is that we are looking at a perhaps at-risk group of youth, and we are trying to provide a program in response in a healthy way and doing that consistent with our colleagues at ECE and health, as well. I think that is an example of a program that may be trying to achieve some results in the area that the Member has asked questions. Thank you, Madam Chair.
