A distant second, but still in the affirmative, was "yes, the public has a right to know about the activities of a government watchdog agency" with 23 per cent for a total of 123 votes, while "no, it's not in the public interest" trailed with six per cent for a total of 31 votes. In last was "no, it's not fair to the companies, many of which are small businesses" with five per cent and 29 votes.
