(1)  where its publication is likely to reveal information that, under the Act respecting Access to documents held by public bodies and the Protection of personal information (chapter A-2.1), shall not be released or may be withheld, because of its nature, or because its disclosure might cause a prejudice mentioned in the Act;

(2)  where the Act under which it is issued prescribes the publication of a notice, or the issue of a proclamation or of letters patent;

(3)  where the number of pages exceeds 10;

(4)  where the reproduction of the schedules attached to it creates technical printing difficulties.
