Well, Llywydd, can I thank the leader of the opposition for choosing to use his questions this afternoon for this really important matter and to do so just at the point where those commemorations across Wales have happened over this last weekend? We do have resources that the Welsh Government devotes to assist in that. We will certainly want to go on doing so into the future. I'll think carefully about the points that he's made in his final contribution in this part of our proceedings this afternoon, and some of the things that Paul Davies has said are echoes of the contribution we heard on Friday from a survivor of that Holocaust experience, when she challenged everybody who was in that service to do the things that individuals need to do to make sure that those memories are kept alive, that the ceremonies that we have put in place do continue and that we are able to return year on year, explaining to those who were directly affected by these things how we go on bearing witness to their suffering.
