Leading up to the recent federal election, CBC News requested video submissions for what you would do if you were Prime Minister.
My video "Dietitian as Prime Minister" was among those selected to be aired on The National on May 1, 2011. Go to the CBC News site to see my video, under the section titled "If I were Prime Minister."

In summary, I believe that we need to focus more on preventative health and the protection of our environment. By promoting good nutrition and active lifestyles, we would not only create jobs and save tax payers’ money, but we would improve the health and quality of life for many Canadians. By combating climate change and expanding our agricultural land, we would ensure food security and environmental sustainability for the future.
