Thank you.
Like my colleagues, I want to say it's really a pleasure to have you here. Thank you so much for taking the time to be with us today and for offering not only your experience but also your expertise and your understanding of this disease.
Like many around this table, I think, my life has certainly been impacted as well. I have two grandmothers who both have dementia, one of whom we've watched decline in health quite severely and at a rate that is unprecedented. I'm having to learn about this condition as well and figure out what it is to look after those with dementia. Again, I have a great appreciation for your testimony.
I have a number of questions here. Perhaps I will direct my first question to Kathleen.
I'm wondering if you can just outline for me your thoughts with regard to palliative care, if that would be something that is needed, and what that might look like in order to help families who have a loved one with dementia.
