The secrecy rules are not limited to certificates. The Minister can ask to keep evidence confidential in an admissibility hearing, a detention review or an appeal at the Immigration Appeal Division, and the same closed-hearing and special advocate machinery applies, with the Board playing the judge's role.
Amendment History (2)
86.1 (1) The Minister may, at any stage of the proceeding, apply for judicial review of any decision made in a proceeding referred to in section 86 requiring the disclosure of information or other evidence if, in the Minister’s opinion, the disclosure would be injurious to international relations, national defence or national security or endanger the safety of any person. The application may be made without an application for leave. (2) The making of the application suspends the execution of the decision and, except in the case of a detention review, the proceeding referred to in section 86, until the application has been finally determined.
