An election round the corner. And after all that, after all that, to deliver what is a pathetic sum to spending departments who are on their knees at the moment. Itsjust adding insult to injury. A government not just callous and uncaring, but hypocritical as well. This isnt a government, its a rack

[inaudible conversations] welcome to the subcommittee on Consumer Protection, product safety and Data Security. Will come to order. I apologize for the bit of late.
