Mr. Stephen Rafferty:

Not necessarily. We are dealing with finer points such as common law, duty of equity and duty of confidence. Two separate tests are contained in section 26. The more general test concerning information given to a public body is aimed at protecting information it receives from members of the public. A technical issue arose whereby the information captured by an official of the public body was not afforded the same level of protection. We are trying to come up with an amendment to address the issue.
