In administering the disclosure of records pursuant to the Impact Assessment Act through the Canadian Impact Assessment Registry, determine whether: 1.

There are reasonable grounds to believe that it would be in the public interest to disclose a record because it is required for the public to participate effectively in the Agency’s preparations for a possible impact assessment or the impact assessment — other than any record the disclosure of which would be prohibited under section 20 of the Access to Information Act. |
