In the context of an economic decline where people cannot afford gym memberships I ask that we would examine what is going on with our younger people. We might encourage the new Minster for Arts, Sport and Tourism to come into the House to determine whether we can support, through her and the local authorities, the development of safe walking ways. Many people are out on the road, and that is not necessarily safe. I have an ongoing battle in regard to cyclists who refuse to wear reflective gear or have lighting on their bicycles. We are trying to motivate people to do something that is more healthy, in the context of the wonderful weather we are experiencing.
