Madam Chair, I would love to continue that conversation with the minister.
As the minister knows, Canada also has one of the highest rates of MS in the world, with more than 90,000 Canadians living with this disease. Of course, while the cause is still unknown, emerging research has highlighted the potential for significant advancements in the prevention of MS.
I have heard directly from constituents that they want to see the Government of Canada commit $15 million to fund MS research in partnership with MS Canada, focusing on prevention, repair and regeneration.
I understand that the minister also met with MS Canada earlier this month. Can he share what it will take for the government to commit these funds?
