Guidance for preparation of a supporting document index
Confidentiality and disclosure guidelines for SIMA proceedings
Please review the Confidentiality and disclosure guidelines for SIMA proceedings for more information on the CBSA’s policies and procedures with respect to submitting confidential and non-confidential information in Special Import Measures Act (SIMA) proceedings.
Information required in a supporting document index
The supporting document index must include a description of the confidential information that has been removed/redacted and a rationale as to why a non-confidential version cannot be made available.
If the rationale for any of your supporting documents is different than the example provided above, please specify the rationale for each document (i.e. based on copyright licensing, the document contains company-specific financial information, etc.).
When to submit a supporting document index
A supporting document index will only be accepted for confidential documents which are not amenable to redaction or when redacting the confidential information would not leave enough detail to provide an understanding of the confidential information removed.
When filing multiple documents
One description for multiple documents is acceptable if the content and the rationale (as to why a non-confidential version cannot be made available) is similar.
