I thank the witnesses for their presentation and for the great work they do. I am a little bit aware of intergenerational trauma and its impact, particularly from a mental health and addiction point of view. I would imagine that every family has been impacted in some way by the conflict whether physically, mentally or emotionally. It is a minefield. I also pick up on the witnesses' frustration when they say they have been here before, they have had meetings before. It is hard for people to have hope when they have been going around and around.

What exactly would WAVE like us to do? How can we support it? We want to support it and we would like to hear the witnesses' recommendations on what they would like us to do. Do they have an opinion on, or explanation for, why the First Minister blocked the funding?
