Health committee  Indeed, I don't have it off the top of my head, but I would be glad to provide you with the information.

Health committee  I can't give you that exactly. I'll ask my colleague, Jim Roberge, to tell you exactly what the figure is for Alzheimer's and dementia.

Health committee  Yes, there are actually quite a few Canada research chairs for a variety of neurological disorders. We could certainly send you the list if you want it. It's a large number.

Health committee  As you know, CIHR funds a large number of research chairs in many areas through the Canada research chairs program, CRC, and the Canada excellence research chairs program. There are a large number of funded chairs in Canada currently. CIHR funds very few specific research chairs because of these existing programs.

Health committee  I just found the figure on Alzheimer's. Last year we spent over $22 million specifically on Alzheimer's disease or related dementia. In addition to that, as you know, we've launched a $25-million international initiative on Alzheimer's disease with a number of partners, including the U.K., France, Germany, China, and the U.S.

Health committee  We're actually talking of a $1-million chair—

Health committee  —over five years. We're currently in discussion with potential partners to double this amount to $2 million. When we talk about the $200,000, we're talking about the tranche for this year. The idea is to focus this chair on innovative approaches to the treatment and care of patients with autism.

Health committee  Certainly we'll be pleased to table that. We have taken a series of actions, including communicating with all the various colleges.

Health committee  I would like to thank the committee for this opportunity to discuss the transfers to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research under supplementary estimates (C). As you have seen, CIHR's grants vote will increase by $10.67 million with approval of the 2010-11 supplementary estimates (C).

Veterans Affairs committee  I think it's a very interesting question. I don't know.

Veterans Affairs committee  It's a very interesting question. It's very possible that there's research funded in that area. I don't know. I could try to find out. But it's an intriguing thing. I'm going out on a limb here. I think that all these video games may appear violent, but I think that's totally symbolic.

Veterans Affairs committee  Certainly.

Veterans Affairs committee  It was my pleasure. Thank you for your attention.

Veterans Affairs committee  Absolutely.

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes, and reacting this way is seen as a weakness. It's tragic.
