My final question ties in with the next body of work this committee will take on, which pertains to the auxiliary recommendations of the Citizens' Assembly. In their presentation, the witnesses mentioned mandatory sex education, which is something I support in theory. In Ireland, the Catholic church unfortunately still has a monopoly over schools and, therefore, sex education. I have to remove my ten year old daughter from participating in the lessons given by some organisations that come to her school. Could the witnesses give us a small bit of insight into who provides mandatory sex education in Dutch schools? What is the curriculum based on?
