the disclosure will contribute to the exercise of the recipient institution’s jurisdiction, or the carrying out of its responsibilities, under an Act of Parliament or another lawful authority, in respect of activities that undermine the security of Canada; and

the disclosure will not affect any person’s privacy interest more than is reasonably necessary in the circumstances.
