I would agree: it was indeed a very brave speech. I can't recall the exact words I used, but I wouldn't seek to correct in any way, shape or form what Ms Tame has said. That is roughly my recollection. That was a very brave statement, and that's exactly what I meant when I said that to her on that occasion. It was a very proud moment for her and her great struggle and challenge over a long period of time, and what she did on that occasion was to speak with a very strong voice about what had occurred to her, and I think raising her voice in that way would have given great agency to so many victims of sexual abuse and harassment all around this country, and that is exactly what I meant—exactly what I meant—and I don't know why some other meaning may have been put upon those words.
