Let's imagine that we had information on CBC, and the corporation told us that the information was confidential. We could be talking about information on advertisement, for instance. That's an area where CBC is in competition with the private sector. If someone requests that information, we consult CBC. If the corporation asks us not to disclose that information because it would affect its competitiveness, we refuse to disclose it because CBC considers that information to be confidential. If the requester takes the matter to the courts, we would follow the procedure I just laid out for you. We would provide the requested documents to the court under seal, and the court would decide.
