Canada Oil and Gas Operations Act

Marginal note:Confidentiality — security

5.35 In respect of any order, or in any proceedings, of the National Energy Board with respect to Part 0.1, the Board may take any measures and make any order that it considers necessary to ensure the confidentiality of information that is contained in the order or is likely to be disclosed in the proceedings if the Board is satisfied that

• (a) there is a real and substantial risk that disclosure of the information will impair the security of pipelines, buildings, structures or systems, including computer or communication systems, or methods employed to protect them; and

• (b) the need to prevent disclosure of the information outweighs the public interest in disclosure of orders and proceedings of the National Energy Board.
