There are a few issues. Deputy McNamara was asking about the general transparency provisions around this. I was talking about how in one section of the Bill, we discussed the nature of the judicial system and the democratic system, or lack of, in the country of the vendor and, in another section, we are discussing the quality of the components and so on. Therefore, if a vendor is put on the high-risk vendor list and that vendor challenges that designation and goes to court, the evidence presented that is sensitive to national security is the only part of the evidence that is not published. The rest of it is provided to the vendor. If it is the case that shoddy components or whatever else are provided, whatever other information that is not relevant to national security is openly-----
