There are two things. Number one, yes. Also, the requirement for sharing information is limited to when an applicant applies. For example, if they're a new arrival in Canada and want to get a job and need a security clearance for that, there is a requirement to show some type of history, at which point there will be some work between the department and the applicant to understand what that applicant has provided as information. We may need to go to another country to seek out information. There may be a police record check that needs to come from another country, and there may be elders' letters, or whatever, depending upon the country of origin.
This would prohibit us from being able to go out with the consent of that individual and share any information, whose consent we must have prior to sharing information under the Privacy Act, as is included in the application form, etc. If we are not able to share any information, then that individual would not be able to be considered. That's its impact.
