Ms. Foran, I would like to begin by thanking you for the work you are doing. I also want to thank you for describing the lives of the people who care for those living with this type of disease.
My grandfather had Alzheimer's. So I was able to see just how much impact the management of that disease can have on a family. Fortunately, my grandfather had many children and all of them provided him with support until his death. Obviously, since families are having fewer and fewer children, caring for ailing parents is becoming a burden.
My first question is for the Brain Canada Foundation representative.
In the 2011 budget, the Government of Canada announced that $100 million would be injected into the fund. I would like to know how that money will be distributed and what resources it will go towards.
