What we are seeing in cabinet confidences is that the definition, as it exists right now in the act, is so broad that it potentially includes all of these things. Under the previous administration, we had dates and locations of cabinet meetings excluded under cabinet confidences.
The exemption is so broad that it allows for all these things. Yes, the portions of a memorandum to cabinet include background, analysis, and all these other portions, which could be included in the cabinet document but should not really be covered by a cabinet exemption, because this has nothing to do with the deliberative process.
That is why it is like that.
