Explanation:

Employers are not required to disclose information when the disclosure would be against the interests of national security; or when it could not be disclosed without contravening other legislation; or which has been communicated to the employer in confidence; or is information that relates specifically to an individual unless he or she has consented to its disclosure; or the disclosure would cause substantial injury to the employer's undertaking for reasons other than its effect on collective bargaining; or has been obtained by the employer for the purpose of bringing or defending any legal proceedings.
