Mr. Speaker, I was delighted earlier today to announce the establishment of the Canadian Stroke Network, another of the networks of centres of excellence that we have established across Canada.
This is an investment in the first phase of just under $19 million over four years. It is subject to renewal based on peer review. This network will create a unique world class infrastructure on stroke prevention, stroke treatment and repair of the brain after injury.
It is cause for hope for all Canadians and their families who have suffered from this dreadful affliction.
