Please double-check because this issue is very important. I wanted to mainly get as much factual information as possible. I must say that I find the way it turned out incredibly disappointing. I had hoped when I saw the news that it meant that we, as a State, had stood up to this. I really did. It is incredibly disappointing that that is not the case. I strongly feel that surely there is a way of getting out of this, especially given the genocide. We had a long conversation about genocide in our previous committee meeting. It is awful that we have any hand, act or part in this, as is the fact that this could still potentially be an issue this year and potentially next year. I wanted to understand mainly those few issues and I thank the witnesses from the Central Bank. I will let Senator Higgins back in.
