Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Again, what we're hearing has been very captivating. One of you is a published author. I think that all of you should consider writing books, because you all have very interesting stories to tell. That's not something I say lightly. I mean that. I'd love to read this, because what we get here is just a snapshot. It's not fully what we could hear. I encourage you and affirm you in the work that you're all doing in keeping going. Thank you for that.
I've heard a couple of comments here that struck me, particularly as they relates to the purge. One of the comments was that people couldn't believe that this happened in Canada, as if there were some caseworkers who were surprised by that or weren't aware of it, depending on their age or their experience and things like that.
One of the things that came to mind, particularly for my riding, where 215 children were discovered at the residential school in Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo, are the enduring impacts of that. I'm wondering if there is any sort of parallel to be drawn. Yes, this happened 30 years ago, but there are still lingering impacts of the purge.
I open this up to any of the witnesses. Does anybody wish to comment on whether they've seen that, or is this something that's really in the past?
