It's actually hard to believe that we aren't given that voluntarily. As far as freedom of information and access to information goes, why is that kind of information held from the general public? Why isn't that kind of thing openly circulated to us without our having to beg for it? It really bothers me. I know you're not in a position to answer that, but that is some of the frustration we feel, as committee members. It's like pulling teeth. They ration things out to us in little tidbits and snippets, just barely enough, and only when they absolutely have to. That's one of our greatest irritations.
