Mr. Speaker, September is World Alzheimer's Month, and today is World Alzheimer's Day. The theme for these events is “Remember Me”, and it could not be more appropriate.
Today, we must remember those who are living with Alzheimer's and their caregivers. As a country, we need to be doing everything we can to support our friends, our neighbours and our communities, which have been impacted by this condition. We can do this in a number of ways. Committing to more research, better understanding, and ultimately achieving prevention and a cure are our ultimate goals.
I am sure that everyone in this chamber has been touched by Alzheimer's disease in some way, through our families and friends.
I ask all of us to remember them and to honour them by working together to eliminate Alzheimer's and all other forms of dementia.
