This bill certainly doesn't provide for that mechanism with respect to private broadcasters. I understand that the fear is that private broadcasters will use this amended legislation to get access to confidential documents, whether they be projects that are under development or business models, but that's why we have the prejudice test. If the CBC can demonstrate that it will be prejudiced, that it will be injured by disclosure of those documents, then the documents ought not to be released to the public or to whoever is requesting them, pursuant to the discretionary exemption. But they have to demonstrate that there will be injury, because the access act says that the onus should be on disclosure and that exception should be limited and specific.
