Nickel Belt’s M-P has received some high profile support for his work towards a national Alzheimer’s and Dementia Strategy.

Claude Gravelle says party leader Tom Mulcair recently committed $40-million over four years if the N-D-P win the upcoming federal election.

He says this is too important an issue to let slip away.

Gravelle says his mother suffered from Alzheimer’s, so he knows what 750,000 Canadians and their families are going through.

Gravelle came close to getting a national strategy passed, but his private members bill came up just one vote short earlier this year.
