Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I'd like to thank all three witnesses for appearing today, especially Ms. Lee, for the courage to appear before committee and for bringing your story to us. It is very important that it be told. Thank you, as well, to all three of you for bringing forward some suggestions on amendments that we will be looking at.
Ms. Lee, I do have a question for you. I wrote your statement down. You said that you are now a registered victim, with all its entitlements. You also had said that you have to relive the events each and every time you have to go to a parole hearing. The question I have to ask is this, and I know it's such a difficult issue and a difficult time to have to go to parole hearings. Why do you, and so many other family members of victims, do it?
It's a question that we need to ask, because it's terrible all around for you to have to prepare your statements and go to the hearings, yet everyone does it. Why is that?
