As you know, the Access to Information Act provides for a series of safeguards vis-à-vis confidential information. So assuming that information would be provided by those proposing to transfer a bridge to the minister for the purpose of exercising the approval process set out in these provisions, the safeguards that exist in the Access to Information Act vis-à-vis sensitive commercial information would be subject to it.
The application of these provisions apply to all bridge operators regardless of who they are, private companies and publicly owned bridges as well.
