This has been a very rewarding discussion. I am especially interested in the comments on truth and justice into the future that Professor McEvoy made when summing up. We should try to address that matter, because it would give closure to everybody and reveal the truth. If it is about truth, then putting all of those things into perspective and getting truth for all of those people who suffered is the key.

I thank Mr. Holder and Professor McEvoy for attending. They gave powerful testimony, which shows just how off-beam this legislation is and how out of touch the British Government is in the context of its understanding of a solution to our problems. Truth and justice, as was said, have absolutely been denied.
