On my question, with respect to these particular sections, section 188(1) gives a definition there of "imperative reasons of overriding public interest" and there are three. None of them explicitly refers to, for example, social or economic activity. Is it section 188(1)(c) which permits that or where in that definition does one find that? I was expecting to see "issues of social or economic importance", or whatever the phrase is that has been used elsewhere but it is not there.
