I thank the officials for coming before us. My first question relates to something I asked Mr. Tyndall. There were 19 Magdalen survivors with disabilities who could not be paid compensation. There was an issue of capacity on one of the recommendations and an issue with the assisted decision-making legislation that was enacted. Today, the Department has said there are 17 women in this situation. What has happened to the other two women?
