I think the government should think hard about it.
Let's assume—and it is probably true—that there is fear among certain officials that they do not have the authority. I'll assume that. I'll accept that. I think the government then has two courses of action available to it. One, we, as the government, are going to explore whether there is validity to these fears or not. Does the law actually prevent information sharing? They have experts in government who can actually look into the question and determine if the fear is valid or not.
If it is valid, you ask, how is it that the previous law created impediments? Then you craft your legislation to address the real impediments, not the feared impediments.
