Canada Development Investment Corporation added to Access to Information Act's Schedule II

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

The Canada Development Investment Corporation Act has been added to Schedule II of the Access to Information Act. Schedule II lists statutes that contain provisions restricting disclosure of information, which affects how access-to-information requests are handled when they touch records covered by those statutes. Practically, this means that when an ATI request reaches records held under the Canada Development Investment Corporation Act, the specific confidentiality provision in that Act (section 21) can be invoked to withhold or limit disclosure. Organizations that submit ATI requests seeking information related to Canada Development Investment Corporation should be aware that this exemption now formally applies. No other substantive changes to the Act's operative provisions are visible in this amendment.
