I echo the sentiments of both the Chair and the other members that for a Bill of this size, it is almost farcical that we are being allocated this amount of time to go through such a comprehensive and diverse legislation. I thank all the contributors here today.

I want to ask my first question to Dr. Leahy, if that is okay. From her account, it is clear the disclosure of counselling notes could deter survivors from seeking therapy or from even reporting crimes but she has clearly highlighted the very same risk applies to other personal records, such as medical, psychiatric, school or advocacy notes. Could she expand on the importance of including these other notes in the Bill we are talking about today?
