Let me just be clear. If it is not appropriate, if it is not due protocol for Mr. Rankin to answer the question, I fully accept that and have no issue with it at all. If it is the case that he has an opinion that he is allowed to share, I am just curious. The IMF has an opinion. It has stated that it is probably not enough and seems a bit low, that we do not know what is going to happen in the future but it seems low. Is the witness allowed to share his opinion? If not that is fine, I fully accept that.
