Mr. Speaker, I will be brief because I know that a number of members would like to ask questions.
My mother succumbed to Alzheimer's. Therefore, I really get this bill. I also understand the families of people suffering from this disease and its consequences. In 10 years, an affected person can lose their intellectual independence and the ability to get around, feed themselves, even bathe themselves.
Is my colleague aware of the progress being made in research—even though it is not enough—to delay the illness? What more must be done?
