             (2)  Without limiting subsection (1), the Integrity Commissioner may advise the person of the outcome of the investigation by giving the person a copy of the whole or a part of the report prepared in relation to the investigation under subsection 54(1).

             (3)  In advising the person under subsection (1), the Integrity Commissioner:

                     (a)  must not disclose section 149 certified information to the person if the disclosure of the information to the person would contravene the certificate issued under section 149; and

                     (b)  may exclude information from the advice if the Integrity Commissioner is satisfied that:

                              (i)  the information is sensitive information; and

                             (ii)  it is desirable in the circumstances to exclude the information from the advice.

             (4)  In deciding whether to exclude information from the advice under paragraph (3)(b), the Integrity Commissioner must seek to achieve an appropriate balance between:
