00:00Vice-Chair, it's sad because we are all here to clarify what really happened, especially in the budget of the Vice-President
00:13when it comes to the confidential fund and his budget for 2025.
00:19However, I will not ask because I know that he will answer again and again.
00:25It's frustrating because this is the money of the people.
00:30I would like to thank the Vice-President for showing her true colors to the House
00:35and her lack of respect for check and balances and the separation of powers and accountability.
00:43We are a republic. We don't have a king or a queen.
00:48Now, Madam Chair, since VP Sara cannot answer the questions of the member,
00:55may I move now to defer the hearing of the budget of the Office of the Vice-President.
01:01I so move, Mr. President.
01:02Is there any objection? Hearing none, the same is approved.
