Order of Business: Motion. - Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse: Statements.
I appeal to the religious orders to reconsider their approach. They will have noted that the public outcry on this issue is largely related to the disparate nature of the contributions being made. I was heartened to read the remarks of Archbishop designate Martin the other day in which he stated he wanted a less adversarial approach to be taken in regard to victims. While the legal standing of the arrangement is one thing, its moral standing is another. I want the religious orders to re-examine the issue.
