I thank our guests for being here today. I appreciate their testimony. I will ask my first question of the representatives of In It Together - Who Am I? False records have been already spoken about a lot. The current provisions of the Bill refer to affected persons as those whose entry in the register of births was made before 31 December 1970, and that cut-off mark is obviously problematic in itself. I am wondering what problems the falsified records pose for those who have had false data recorded for them. What about someone who would come up as born before the cut-off date but will be excluded because of falsified records? Will someone comment on that?
