The motion was put for- ward by Huron -Bruce MP Ben Lobb and focuses on strengthening measures to prevent those conditions. Lobb said he was pleased that members of all parties came together to support the motion. "I would like to thank my colleagues from all parties for their support." said MP Lobb. "It's impor- tant that we recognize and stay focused on address- ing the needs of individu- als living with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias." According to a media release, the motion calls for increasing education and awareness to reduce the stigma associated with dementia. It aims to share best practices between all jurisdictions, while con- tinuing to work in partner- ship with relevant stake- holders, including families affected by dementia. Lobb said the motion will encourage working rela- tionships with interna- tional partners and build upon partnerships with groups such as the Alzhei- mer Society of Canada and the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging. There is currently approximately 45 million people in the world living with Alzheimers or another dementia. Roughly six to 15 per cent of Canadians aged 65 years or older are living with some form of demen- tia with that figure expected to double by 2031.
