Thank my Lord that this happened, because I fully believe that what we've all experienced today and yesterday and the day before and the day before is his presence. I'd like to thank my wife Teresa, who's the main organizer. There's— she's the only person in the world I know that that could pull this off in such short time. I'm in front of the camera and I mean, obviously I work hard to interview witnesses and prep them and help with the organization, but I'm a small part compared to her. There are a large number of volunteers and I don't have time to thank them all, but some that just came to mind this morning when I I was quickly trying to decide what to say. I, and so if I miss you on, on this list, if you— why did you miss me? I'm sorry, it's just, you know, I just jotted this down this morning. So I'd like to thank Rita and Susan, the two volunteers that sorted all the witnesses, and who often at meetings, one of them would just weep the whole meeting.

You learn not to ask how you're doing. Because then the rest of the meeting, it'd just be weeping. And the reason is, is we've experienced it here. We've seen these people speak and we've all wept. Can you imagine going through 1,400 of these stories? I think that they have a long journey ahead of them. Eric and Jason. Bonnie, Dave, Sherry, Miriam, Tracy, our Ottawa volunteer Christine, and Peter. Those are the ones that, that came to mind. I, I know there's more, and, and forgive me for missing you.
