. Export Development Canada v. Canada (Information Commissioner)
In Export Development Canada v. Canada (Information Commissioner) (Fed CA, 2025) the Federal Court of Appeal allows an appeal, here from the Federal Court's upholding of "an order of the Information Commissioner of Canada (Commissioner) requiring EDC to disclose customer-related information to the requestor". The court considers ATIA s.18.1 ['Economic interests of certain government institutions'], and ATIA s.24 ['Statutory prohibitions against disclosure'] - the latter of which in turn relies upon s.24.3 ['Privileged information'] of the Export Development Act (EDA).
At paras 34-84 the court considers the statutory interpretation of the phrase "obtained by" as used in EDA s.24.3.
