I am advising the witness, which is my responsibility as Chair, because there are very clear terms of reference and we have legal responsibilities for this inquiry, particularly to witnesses coming before it. Mr. Buti, if questions move outside the purpose for which you are here, if you believe those questions are not within your competence to answer and if you believe you cannot provide a proper answer to this inquiry, I will leave that to your discretion as to how you wish to pursue that question.
