Mr. Speaker, a colleague was chattering behind me saying “sports, sports”. Therefore, I say to my colleague, it has been mentioned that the involvement of young people and certainly all people in physical activity does improve their health.
I am the seniors critic. I am someone who has met with a number of seniors and quite frankly, I am someone who is on that doorstep, but I am not quite there. I actually do agree that it is crucially important that seniors and others have the opportunity for recreational activity. There is a severe lack of facilities for seniors in our system. It is crucially important that more infrastructure dollars go toward that. I would like the hon. member's comments on the recreational opportunities for seniors.
