Again, if one of your officials gets an application for information in, my assumption is that they look at the guidelines and the act\u2014and section 15 was referred to a lot\u2014but I expect there's a certain amount of discretion. I don't know whether there is or not. Maybe there's no discretion. In other words, it's always alleged that things are blacked out and that maybe they shouldn't be blacked out, whether it's for this or any other type of information. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"743724\" data-originallang=\"en\">My question is whether you and your staff ever talk about the topic of discretion\u2014personal discretion, individual discretion.</p>",

Alors si l'un de vos collaborateurs re\u00e7oit une demande d'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information, je suppose qu'il consulte les lignes directrices et la loi \u2014 il a beaucoup \u00e9t\u00e9 question de l'article 15 \u2014 mais je suppose qu'il y a pas mal de place pour la discr\u00e9tion. Je ne sais pas si c'est le cas ou non. Peut-\u00eatre n'y en a-t-il pas du tout. Autrement dit, on suppose toujours que des choses qui sont \u00e9dit\u00e9es n'auraient peut-\u00eatre pas d\u00fb l'\u00eatre, qu'il s'agisse de ce genre de renseignement ou d'autres.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"743724\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce que je voudrais savoir, c'est si vous et votre personnel avez jamais discut\u00e9 du sujet de la discr\u00e9tion \u2014 la discr\u00e9tion personnelle, la discr\u00e9tion individuelle.</p>"
