I just wanted to clarify some of the timeframe. The reports will all be completed by March 13, 2013, but there will be a synthesis event where we will bring together all the researchers to share their findings and to look at commonalities, and what key findings may be.
Then there will be a consensus conference, which will engage stakeholders. The anticipation is that the report will be tabled with the minister in March 2014. That will be the final report.
That in itself will be extremely helpful. I just want to confirm what you've said, that the intent then would be.... Well, not then; we need to have that planning now. We need a strategy in place that would be based upon the evidence and facts presented in that report, and should have some very clear directions about where the best investments could be.
The challenge with it is that if we wait until then, it may be too late and we may have a report that may sit and not have implementation. We would like to see a concept around a national brain strategy being thought about now, and plans starting to be put in place on what would be the legacy. The second part would be to ensure that neurological diseases are included in the surveillance system within the Public Health Agency. It's started on that path, but that would ensure the continuity of gathering some of this information on an ongoing basis. That would be one legacy that would be quite incredible, if we could ensure that would happen.
