Confidential Information
Both the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act and the Temporary Safeguard Authorities Act include separate provisions dealing with the treatment of confidential information provided to the Ministry or to an Authority. The Ministry must ensure that confidential information is protected, but is also required to make available on request non-confidential information, including non-confidential summaries of confidential information, that is used in dumping and subsidy investigations or in safeguard inquiries.
The Ministry operates a Public File system for all investigations and inquiries. These files hold all non-confidential information relating to the inquiry. These files are available for viewing or copying.
Additional information on the treatment of confidential information is available from the Ministry.
