Will the Minister ensure that all victims and survivors of these so-called mother and baby homes and other similar institutions will have their experiences fully acknowledged so that real healing, if not closure, can get under way? I emphasise that the process should include all victims and survivors. This is the opportunity and time to address these issues. I ask him to ensure nobody is left behind. When we review this exercise following a period of time, I will not want to see a situation whereby others are still knocking at the door and hoping their circumstances will be taken on board and acted on. Will the Minister ensure that we leave nobody behind and that the commission of investigation will have terms of reference that provide for a fully inclusive and comprehensive investigation?
