Thank you very much, Mr. Gill.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to thank our witnesses for being here this morning and my colleague for bringing this very important issue forward through the opportunity that you've had with the private member's bill. I had the privilege of being a junior youth sponsor at my church, and we did have a young lady who had epilepsy. She's grown into a beautiful young woman with two children. She had those pregnancies managed, obviously, with some medication to ensure that those babies were carried safely to term, and as I said, she has a beautiful young family now.
I don't have very many questions, but one of the questions I would have is this: during a person's lifetime with epilepsy, are there periods of time when these seizures happen more often? Is there a time when they maybe subside? What is the impact for elderly people? As well, does epilepsy have an impact on a person's lifespan?
