Order of Business: Motion. - Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse: Statements.
Consultations with the main survivor groups is continuing. A number of meetings have been held with these groups, the latest of which took place on Thursday, 25 September. The meetings have been very constructive and have been extremely useful in considering how best to proceed. There is very much a strong sense that the groups and the Government share a common objective, namely ensuring the investigation committee can achieve its mandate in an effective and timely way. The Government remains committed to ensuring this process of review will be completed as quickly as possible and that appropriate amending legislation will be enacted which will allow for the completion of the work of the commission within a reasonable timeframe and without incurring exorbitant costs.
