a critical recommendation from the draft Building Commissioner's

As the member knows, the Building
Commissioner is an independent office holder. I have absolutely nothing to do
with the preparation of reports by the independent office of the Building
Commissioner; therefore, I not only do not have any knowledge of the matters
raised by the member, I cannot have any knowledge of the matters raised by the
member.
