The challenge we face as a board is that we receive a tremendous amount of privileged information, and it comes in four categories. It's our briefings from Health Canada relative to the development of the regulations, and we receive that on a regular basis, as board members, and have opportunity for input.
As well, we receive information regarding complaints. Because we are operating with a piece of criminal law, there is an exactness that is required in the kinds of things we do, which results in a lot of legal opinions coming forward. As a result, we have a lot of lawyer-client privileged information that comes to the board.
The point of this is that our minutes are filled with information that obviously, because it is privileged, also includes another category that I should mention. We are privileged to give advice to the minister, which, as the honourable member knows, is privileged information. So our minutes, if in fact they go outside of the board, have to be redacted to remove all of this privileged information.
