I am acquainted with the work they do, much of which is done at great risk to themselves. The group can come in an settle matters when things are about to implode. It can be difficult work and entails courageous action on their behalf.

As regards the lack of funding, if this committee can make recommendations for the group we will not be found wanting in that regard. Perhaps the group can tell us what type of funding it requires from the State.
