My second question is for Ms Alagha. I will make an observation before I ask the question. The yellow sticker initiative is a brilliant idea. I love seeing such grassroots initiatives. It is a simple measure that could have a great effect. I would like it to be introduced in my area. Ms Alagha might drop me an email on it. I would like to support the initiative in my office and for my staff to be trained to provide support. I would give whatever donation is required for that to happen. I will look into that. I am sure others businesses in my area would gladly take up that initiative. Ms. Alagha might forward me information on that initiative after the meeting.

My question is on the court support service offered by the Amal Association. As a layperson, I find it difficult sometimes to follow the legal proceedings and language used in court. I can only imagine the difficulties a migrant involved in legal proceedings would experience in following what is happening in court. What supports does the association offer people? I would be afraid to think how migrants would survive if such supports were not available. If supports were not available to them, how does Ms Alagha think they would survive in dealing with court proceedings?
