I'm sorry.
Ms. Harder, go ahead.
Evidence of meeting #32 for Health in the 42nd Parliament, 1st Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was amendment.
A video is available from Parliament.

Perfect. Thank you. The chair appreciates your comments.
I am going to call the vote on the “no remuneration” clause.

You have another one.

Again, I just wanted to talk about clause 6, which is the meetings. Right now, they are held twice annually. I would like to see that increased. I didn't get the change in number. I would like to see it go to four meetings. The hope is that if we have a group of 15, and then we can see people coming together and hearing those different voices from across the country. That's so important.

In the second paragraph, it's narrowed down to “Alzheimer's disease” again. I wonder if we could say, “Whereas Alzheimer's disease and other dementias erode an individual's independence and eventually cause death” and just broaden it for those other groups and other people.

It's line 6, I think. It's the second “whereas” paragraph: “Whereas Alzheimer's disease erodes....”

Lines 24 and 25 refer to “Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia”, so for consistency it would be right to put “dementia” in here as well.

So it's “Whereas Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia erode an individual's independence and eventually cause death”.
