00:00As far as the proceeding today is concerned, I can consider that.
00:06However, we should be mindful that the committee report can still be reversed
00:14by at least one-third of all the members of the House of Representatives.
00:21So, this committee report, of course, which contains the determination that both complaints are insufficient in substance.
00:34When taken up in the plenary and when reversed by at least one-third of all the members,
00:43the Committee on Justice will be constrained to come out with an article of impeachment in view of that reversal.
00:54So, to your question, I cannot still say it's dead because there's still a proceeding that will happen in the plenary.
01:06We intend to transmit right away to the plenary, but it depends on the plenary as to when the same will be tackled on the floor.
