Alarm sounds over cost of fitness plan

This Globe and Mail article talks about a Conservative plan to breathe new life into Participaction — the fitness-awareness campaign killed five years ago by the previous Liberal government. They are asking for a total of $6 million by 2010 to get people off of the couch and participate.

The government has already said they're cutting $2 billion from the budget, including all funding for youth to train them and help them find a job; something that would get them off the couch and do more to participate in and contribute to society and the economy than this Participaction program ever wood.
