The Minister can use information from third-party sources. For example, he can commission research to make a decision on whether to designate someone as a high-risk vendor. It is only information that has a national security implication that he is allowed to redact, and the decision to redact is made by a judge. The Minister would have to go to the judge and make the case for redaction. That is judicial oversight. There has to be a line somewhere. What the legislation does is take that decision away from the Minister and give it to the Judiciary.
