However, we are the more responsible House being the one that appropriates funds and we found it prudent not to carry out public participation so that we do not duplicate what has been done by the Senate. I can confirm to the nation that there has been public participation on this Bill. I did see the advertisements in the newspapers and I know that the Senate carried out public participation."}
