Actually, it's not only in Canada but also internationally. Study after study is finding that people who learn languages, who read, who are engaged in their community.... It is not an absolute protectant, but if you look at those with greater than high school education, their risk of Alzheimer's is substantially less than that of those who never make it past grade 10. Those who are engaged in mental activities, as I said, whether they are learning languages, doing puzzles.... And again, in a broad range of things, their risk of developing Alzheimer's is less than that of those who don't keep mentally active. So again, that's a good reason for a good debate around this table.
