          (1) If the Minister makes a residence determination, he or she must
              cause to be laid before each House of the Parliament a statement
              that (subject to subsection (2)):
                (a) states that the Minister has made a determination under this
                     section; and
                (b) sets out the Minister’s reasons for making the determination,
                     referring in particular to the Minister’s reasons for thinking
                     that the determination is in the public interest.
          (2) A statement under subsection (1) in relation to a residence
              determination is not to include:

                    determination; or
               (d) any information that may identify the address, name or
                    location of the place specified in the determination; or
               (e) if the Minister thinks that it would not be in the public
                    interest to publish the name of another person connected in
                    any way with the determination—the name of that other
