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 important that we recognize and stay focused on addressing the needs of individuals 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 continu- ing to work in partnership with relevant stakeholders, including families affected by dementia. Lobb said the motion will encourage working relationships with inter- national partners and build upon partnerships with groups such as the Alzheimer Society of Can- ada and the Canadian Consortium on Neurode- generation 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 dementia with that figure expected to double by 2031.
