"[...] We had promised to the people that we would table the report in to the office of the House of Representatives Monday. Indeed, Friday night we finished our work. It was 10 pm when we delivered to the Secretary General of the Chamber of Deputies the report, and all documents of the Prime Minister, so that the Secretary-General can transmit it to the Office [of the Lower House] tomorrow morning [Monday] 8:00am. In our case, the report is no longer in our hands, it is in the hands of the General Secretariat of the Chamber of Deputies [...]"

Before the report was delivered, President Martelly had expressed his confidence on a radio station in Miami "[...] I think that we are progressing well.
