Thank you. That's very generous.
I want to take a moment to talk about the technical issues that are involved in identifying missing children, regardless of where you are identifying them, because this committee will face funding requests that it will have to evaluate on the technical aspects of this complex issue.
First, in Bosnia with the Srebrenica massacre, something called an ante-mortem database was developed, which I think is a best practice that could be supported here. It would require a large amount of ground activity, but I think it's the only way to do it and to do it safely. In the ante-mortem database, family members and community members were interviewed about the missing and deceased individuals before their deaths. Having that database that could then be later combined with DNA and dental records was essential in the successful identification of thousands of the missing.
A similar type of database must be created here. It requires four types of information: investigative case files, DNA, non-DNA forensics, and basically the ability to match against both relational and object databases in terms of facial recognition and open-source data—
