Thank you.
I want to thank you, witnesses, for your incredible bravery. As a father, I can't even imagine the trauma you've gone through.
I'm going to ask you to walk with me through some questions. The reason it's so important is that what we do here as a committee is kind of like a court in a way. We gather evidence, and out of the evidence we can prepare the reports that will go to Parliament about whether or not we need to change laws or whether we need to find out why laws are not being enforced.
Your willingness to give me clear and simple answers will help us in our work.
Witness 2, did I hear you correctly that you were 15 or 16 when this began to happen to you?
