• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just elaborating. Also in the statement, I would like the Prime Minister to state what the American Government is apologizing for. While discussing the apologies, he should also state whether they stated in their apology what they will do to cater for the mental, social and economic negative effects of that apology.
