This is not the committee that I normally sit on, so you'll have to forgive me if I'm not completely up to speed on all of this. If it comes back “cabinet confidentiality”, you have no ability to compel the department to let you look at the documents that they deem to be confidential to determine in your own professional opinion whether it should have been deemed that way or not. It's up to the pleasure of the department. Is that correct?
