And we also asked the PM the age old question - when will fuel prices go down? He'd explained previously that because of the cap on regular and diesel, the government needed to make back what it lost and so even while world prices drop, our prices would remain the same.
But hasn't that loss been offset as yet? After all, pump prices in other countries have been trending down since July. Well, that doesn't seem like it'll happen any time soon. Here's what the PM said.
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"I can't answer you that right now because it has not been replenished, we've already lost over 20 million dollars so we have to find a way how we can address this and see how we can find a balance in trying to give relief to people but at the same time, we have to be able to collect the taxes, that's the only way we can give the overtime to the nurses and to the teachers and everybody and try to fix the broken infrastructure that we inherited."
We had a lot more to ask the PM - but he only allowed us a three minute 43 second interview.
