There's also section 23.1 of the act in terms of disclosure. Section 23.1 of the act says that the minister can provide reasons for any decisions that are made under a number of paragraphs. This provision requires the minister to give reasons to the investor for a disallowance and authorizes the minister to give those reasons to the investor for allowing a transaction. In the case of a disallowance, the minister must give his reasons to the investor. In the case of an approval, the minister may give his reasons to the investor.
In terms of disclosing such information around the reasons to the public, those are governed by paragraph 36(4)(g) and subsection 36(4.1). In essence, the minister cannot disclose financial, commercial, scientific, or technological information unless he is satisfied that this disclosure will not prejudice the investor.
