I believe that the scheme must be extended to include people who spend time in any institution and not just those in the institutions listed in the statutory fund Act. The legislation must ensure that all survivors of residential institutions have equal access to all supports. It is irrational and discriminatory to provide supports only to survivors who have received a payment under the Residential Institutions Redress Board or from the courts.
