Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to you all for coming.
Mr. Simmonds, thank you for sharing your story. You touched us all. And thank you for saying that our brain power is our greatest strength and we must do everything to protect it and promote brain health in this country.
To our researchers, thank you for the extraordinary work you do. It was really exciting to hear about your work.
To the Parkinson's and neurological health charities, thank you for supporting Canadians.
We've heard from other witnesses. I just want to check in with you all. We heard this should be a recommendation in our report that we should make 2014 the year of the brain, in coordination with what's happening in Europe, and that we need a pan-Canadian brain strategy. Would you agree? Just yes or no.
