Gerry, thank you for giving way. The Committee was unanimous in supporting victims and survivors being given core participant status. We agreed to take a modular approach, which means that not just legal representatives but groups such as Birth Mothers and their Children for Justice will have core participant status. As you will probably agree, their evidence will be stronger than anyone else's.
