Thank you very much.
Thanks to each of you for your compelling presentations.
I'll start with Mr. Mann. My mum had Alzheimer's and was able to live at home until last November. She passed away in November at the age of 84.
But we had a lot of good fortune, in that we had my father, now 91, who was there on a 24-hour basis and was able, at least to some extent or another, to be a primary caregiver, and my sister, who's a nurse with the VON and was able to coordinate all the caregiving, which is a tough job, and also coordinate all the medical care. When you don't know the medical system, it is mind-bogglingly difficult to coordinate, and she understood it. We had the financial means to pay for caregiving. We had Dr. Kenneth Rockwood, an exceptional researcher and doctor in Halifax. Also, they had a community of support in terms of their neighbours, but without any one of those, we would not have been able to take care of my mother.
I'd like to for a moment go to the part of your national strategy that focuses on helping people figure out where to go to get the services and support they need. To me, that's very compelling. We're the only G-7 country without a national Alzheimer's and dementia strategy. Would your approach help families that don't have medical professionals within them coordinate the care for a loved one? Would that be one of the objectives? Or to at least figure it out within the system...?
