mcgill university: The report is not a plan, said Dr, according to CTV. Howard Bergman of McGill University, who chaired the six-member panel. The report by the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences panel, released Monday, is aimed at helping the Public Health Agency of Canada create and implement a national dementia strategy, which is expected to be unveiled toward the end of this year. It will inform those preparing the plan by looking at the evidence and then assessing the best practices. By 2031, that number is expected to nearly double, says the Alzheimer Society of Canada.
