to make submissions about a document or other information accessed under this subsection.
Each active party in a proceeding, or person the tribunal considers has a sufficient interest in the proceeding, must be given a reasonable opportunity to access, within a reasonable time after a hearing, a document before the tribunal that the tribunal considered credible, relevant and significant to an issue in the proceeding.
For subsections (1) and (2) , something is relevant only if it is directly relevant.
On request, the tribunal must give access to a document or other information in accordance with this section.
