Yes.

In terms of this legislation and the amendment to the Access to Information Act, the amendment is not just for the Minister of Public Safety. It extends to all ministers, so information shared with the Minister of Natural Resources in terms of what you just raised--pipelines or oil patches--would be protected as well. Protecting their information would I think create a trusting environment in which they would feel more confident in sharing that information.
