Yes.
Mr. Chair, the narrow exemption that's included in this legislation parallels the similar exemptions that exist under Export Development Canada and Business Development Canada, two other crown corporations. It is specifically targeted to protect the counterparty or client information of either a financial participant or even another order of government. It's their information that is being protected, not the project and not the activity of the bank. It's precisely to give assurance to those counterparties that their information—voluntarily put forward to the government—is not released.
On the latter point, the Information Commissioner would still have jurisdiction to oversee how access to information and related provisions are applied in the corporation.
