Thank you. Let me go back to my scenario. I have $100 a month, I spent $25. I have $10 in my savings. That $10 was earmarked for my children’s university.

Well, Mr. Speaker, I do not have a supplementary. I wanted to address you with r espect to the attempted answer by the Attorney Gen-eral, claiming privilege because of ongoing litigation.
