I welcome the witnesses. I very much value the work they do in promoting the rights and welfare of children. Their role is essential. The interventions they make on issues are important. I am new to this committee, but I want to ask an opening question about their journey over the past 20 years. How have the issues changed or not changed over the past 20 years? They have referenced children's disabilities. I am looking for a quick overview of the journey over the past 20 years where there has been progress, as well as where there has not.
