Thank you, gentlemen, for supplying your expertise and overview of the situation.
I want to start by turning to clause 16, “Refusal of information”, because I believe both of you mentioned that.
Professor Wark, I believe you were referring to this section because it does reference subsection 8(1) of the Security of Information Act. I don't want to paraphrase you inaccurately, but I believe you were mentioning that you found this to be broad. Certainly, when I was made aware of subsection 8(1), it had a “kitchen sink” feel to it, again, depending upon whether the section is reasonably interpreted or interpreted in a very restrained or constrained way.
Mr. Atkey, I believe you keyed in on this section, as well, in calling it or the potential application of it “open-ended and dangerous”. Again, we're into trying to predict future activity and whether there's going to be an issue there.
I want to make sure that I'm understanding properly what your critiques were, gentlemen. Could both of you expand on that?
