The last question I have is in relation to proactive disclosure.
If you had oversight powers of proactive disclosure and there was something blacked out—this is my understanding—the exemptions would still apply in the act. If something was blacked out in an appropriate way because it related to advice and recommendations, you could review it to say it was properly blacked out. There is an exemption related to cabinet confidences, which I understand you would not be able to review because of an exclusion. Any other exemption, however, you would review and say it was properly blacked out.
Ought the government to have any worries about this? You already have that power under the Access to Information Act, right?
