I think it is essential that any redaction be justified. If a decision has been made to strike out or hide information, it is because there is a reason behind it. Is it in the name of solicitor-client privilege or cabinet confidence?
Every passage where a word has been crossed out or hidden represents a decision for which we need to know the reason. When we are called upon to challenge that decision, we need to know the rules that apply. The rules for solicitor-client privilege are not the same as those for cabinet confidence, a privilege or a security matter. In order for us to deal with this information, it will be important to know the source of the denial.
In my opinion, this is a key step. The rule is publication, the exception is redaction, and the latter must be justified.
