Thank you for that.
I've gone through the background on the bill, and there are some clauses that I would like your input on here.
Clause 53 adds new sections 317.1 and 317.2 to list circumstances under which “the Minister [of the Environment] may disclose the explicit chemical or biological name of a substance” or “the explicit biological name of a living organism” even if “a request for confidentiality has been made”. These include circumstances where.... It lists them.
Is this at all a deterrent to business in your industry, if confidentiality is going to be breached, potentially without even notification from the minister to the company in question? Is this only in Canada, and will it be a deterrent to business evolving in Canada?
