Not in every case.
I think the way this would come up under the Privacy Act is if someone were to make a request for access to information about himself or herself that would involve that agreement. Then we would have to look at whether access should be given. Also, one of the provisions we would look at deals with protecting confidentiality of certain commercial practices, so this is not a clear-cut case.
There are provisions in our act as well as in the Access to Information Act that try to balance right of access with protection of commercial interests. Madame Legault may wish to add to that.
