Institutions are encouraged to consult with their legal counsel to determine whether or not a senior-level employee in their organization would fall under the ''Access to Information Act''’s definition under Section 81: <blockquote>''senior officer or employee'' means, in respect of a government institution, any person who exercises the powers or performs the duties and functions of a deputy minister, an associate deputy minister, an assistant deputy minister, a deputy head, an assistant deputy head, a president, a vice-president, a chief executive officer or a member of a board of directors, and any person who holds a position of an equivalent rank. (''dirigeant ou employé'')</blockquote></div>
