Before we go to a second round I have a question for EPIC. It states at the bottom of page 2 of its submission that it is disappointed about some of the exclusions, like a dedicated section to support unaccompanied minors and much needed update to the in camerarule. Can they give the committee some more information on those, particularly the in camerarule? That comes up a lot. It is not just relevant for this committee, but in general with family courts. There are mixed views. Some people think it is a positive thing, while some think it is a bit of a disguise for the perpetrator at times. They can hide behind that.
