I have it marked it here and what I have underlined is "may". The chief deciding officer may share with the applicant a copy of information assessed. The word "may" is worrying. Who is going to guide the officer if he or she decides not to share the information? A decision was made not to share how the Minister came to the decision that every child under six months should be excluded because it would seem subject to further clarification from him that he did it for the good of people. He has not shared the basis of that decision. If we continue with that patronising patriarchal approach, whoever is the deciding officer can decide not to share the information because he or she thinks it is not really in the interest of the survivor or applicant and it is a case of "we know best". The word "may" is way too vague.
