00:00Well, I do understand their concerns. The Ombudsman's findings were clear in relation
00:06to the Maladministration, but also clear about the lack of direct financial injustice
00:14as the Ombudsman saw it, and that's why we've taken the decision that we've taken.
00:18But I do understand, of course, the concern of the WASPI women, but also, of course,
00:23I have to take into account whether it's right at the moment to impose further burden on the
00:29taxpayer, which is what it would be. So, of course, I acknowledge their concern,
00:34but we're following the findings of the Ombudsman, and it is a question of balancing
00:38those concerns with the taxpayers' obligations,
00:42which are already very high, and that finding of the Ombudsman.
