Mr Chairman, members of the Committee, let me start by thanking you for the invitation to meet with you today. I know that you are working to a tight time frame and I appreciate the complexity of the issues you are working through over the coming weeks. As such, I appreciate the opportunity for an open exchange of views with you here today. I hope that our discussions and the consideration of my written submission to the Committee and my Advice to Government on the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill, 2006, will be of assistance to you in your important work.<\/p>\n
