Mr Harris expressed feeling "a deep sense of sorrow, hurt, anger and disgust" while apologizing to survivors, acknowledging the report's impact as a "national trauma." He emphasized that the open wound created by abuse continues to hurt many, hindering their futures.
He described the sexual abuse revelations as a "breach of trust, responsibility and authority" that was "endemic" in religious organizations, and criticized how this trauma has been handed down through generations.
