| M-337 — March 1, 2012 — Ms. Duncan (Etobicoke North) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government should: (a) recognize that in a globalised competitive world it is Canadian brain power that will determine Canada's success economically; and (b) strengthen research in critical neurological and psychiatric disorders, promote innovation and knowledge transfer, and ensure innovative ideas are turned into new products and services that create growth, quality jobs and address neurological and psychiatric disease and disorders. |
