He is not accountable to me today because he cannot tell me what the registration fee is. That is my question. He is accountable to me but he cannot actually be accountable because he is saying a wall has been put between us. The wall is confidentiality and commercial sensitivity. While one could argue at one level that this is about protecting the State, this is the Committee of Public Accounts, at which members put questions to Mr. McKeon about how money is spent.
I want to get to the next question.
