Mr. Scott Millar at the Public Safety and National Security Committee

I'm not a charter lawyer and expert on legal interpretation. The way C-59 has been constructed is to reflect how we operate now in terms of the elements around publicly available information, when an MA would cover it, and they are what we are familiar with.

Again, by putting this language into the definition of publicly available information it coheres with the idea of what triggers a ministerial authorization, but having them in both spots, I'm not sure what that may or may not mean. It may mean nothing from legal interpretation or it may mean something.
