Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Travis Valo, Ms. Duncan asked you to name five things that you would like to have. I think that the most moving one in your response was a treatment leading to a cure. I remember that when Ms. Duncan pleaded for the creation of this sub-committee, one of the main elements, if not the principal one, motivating her to invite us to look into this issue was the fact that this sub-committee would be able to hear researchers from all over the world who would be able to tell us where we are at in the area of research towards finding treatments capable of leading to a cure.
Given that you did not do so in your presentation, Mr. Parker, I would like you to give us an overview of where ALS research is at on the road to finding a treatment that could lead to a cure.
