I thank to the Minister. That is helpful information. What about the efforts with survivors in America, the UK and other countries? That is important. I have been contacted by survivors. I believe they feel they have been forgotten. This has to be survivor-led. I know the Minister understands that. We have to ensure that the survivors are heard. They have gone through enough hurt and pain and we cannot allow this again. I call on him to give a guarantee that this will never happen to the survivors again. We cannot leave them again. They are so vulnerable and have gone through so much.
