Thank you for coming in. As a committee we have met with various victims groups. They are not all the same. Many of the people we have met are different. They are all still hurting. There is a commonality regarding a lot of the people. They certainly want answers. Some do not want to tie in with victims’ groups. Some want to just deal with their own loss. They have all appreciated the fact that if someone actually goes out and listens to them and to their story, that is a really essential part of it. I know that is part of the oral history that you are proposing. The committee really appreciates the time you have given to meet us. I apologise again for the delay in the meeting starting. Certainly your proposals on your submission here today will be part of our submission on this whole area. Please feel welcome to keep in touch with the committee. If you would like to come back at some stage in the future if there some development in relation to this whole victims area or you feel you need greater support, please contact the committee. and are you feel that you need greater support or other please complete contact with the committee.
