I welcome and commend all the groups for their valuable submissions and I thank them for their assistance to this committee. We all share the same objective, which is to do something for the broader society and community, repair harm and restore relationships where there are criminal issues. In the submission Facing Forward indicated that for some victims, restorative justice may amount to the cost of damage or medical expenses arising from an offence but for others there may be additional possibilities. Will the witnesses clarify that?
