Thank you, Madame Chair.
This committee has done a lot of work on neurological disorders over the last few years, and I took an interest in Mr. Molnar's comments about dementia. A common thread has been on tax credits for caregivers. I wanted to tuck into some other areas related to dementia, ways that might alleviate some of the challenges that society and individuals inflicted with this disease live. I wanted to know what your thoughts were on the New Horizons program.
In the community I come from, Barrie, Ontario, one program that I thought was helpful was art for the aging. They had programs like that in seniors homes that would stimulate mental activity for those who were, unfortunately, going through dementia. There were also programs that engaged them in physical activity. I know we don't know a lot about dementia, but I understand that one thing we do know is that a way to delay onset is to increase the level of activity. The New Horizons program has a budget, I think, of $28 million for programs like that in seniors homes. Is this the type of thing you think is a wise investment?
