So deciphering the position they ultimately took at a committee.e
ven if we could get over the confidentiality hurdle, determining which part of that position was exactly Canada's position is just not possible given the way the institution is structured. I'd point out that this sort of protection is also identified
in our own Canadian legislation, in the Access to Information Act, which provides specific exemptions for information given in confidence from foreign government
...[+++]s or international organizations like the IMF and World Bank and where the disclosure of information could reasonably be expected to be injurious to the conduct of international affairs.
La nécessité de ce genre de protection au Canada est aussi prise en considération dans nos lois sur l'accès à l'information qui accordent expressément des exemptions au titre des renseignements fournis à titre confidentiel par des organisations internationales comme le FMI et la Banque mondiale et de la communication de toute information risquant, selon toute vraisemblance, de nuire à la conduite des affaires internationales.
