We do have one brain bank in Canada. I'm saying this because I was recently at a collaborative meeting with a number of researchers from across Canada and CIHR--and I'm going on my memory of that meeting. My understanding is that we do have one brain bank. I believe it's in the Maritimes. Part of the conversation at that meeting was around the idea that it's not critically important to have brain banks in Canada because there's so much collaboration now.
