Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Janelle, I'll come back to you for this final intervention.
In your opening statement, you mentioned that “the incidence and prevalence of brain injury in Canada surpasses” other well-known conditions like “HIV-AIDS, multiple sclerosis and breast cancer”. You said that “despite these crushing figures” it seems to be “left far behind while other conditions receive more attention and resources.”
You also mentioned the costs, not only in lives, but in the interaction with the criminal justice system, homelessness and the mental health issue. Those all have very serious economic costs to Canada as well. I believe you summed it up by saying, “The cost of inaction far outweighs the investment in proper care.”
In that context, you talked about your second husband and the care he received when he had cancer. Maybe you could take the final minute and a half to talk a little about what you would like to see with that proper investment and to expand on the kind of care model you're looking for, but also talk about how that is really an investment that is going to save our country a lot of money and also a lot in human misery and lives that have been lost.
