Namecheap domain in grace period says "Hide Registrant Data in CIRA's Whois: no" but it's marked as private in CIRA whois?

I registered a .CA domain with namecheap years ago, and it has recently expired and is in the grace period. At the bottom of the page for the domain in my Namecheap account, there's the following info (I anonymized it here for privacy)

--------------------------------------------------

Registrant Contacts​

John Doe
Not Available
123 Main St.
Springfield ON A1B 2C3
CA tel: +1.8005551234
[email protected]

Extended Attributes​

CIRA's Legal Type: CCT
Preferred Language: en
Hide Registrant Data in CIRA's Whois: no

--------------------------------------------------

In the extended attributes it says Hide Registrant Data in CIRA's Whois: no, but for the last 15 years I've only ever seen private namecheap registration info. What's up with this? TIA

Also curious, did you end up finding out what it means?

Seems CIRA keeps their own version of WHOIS records but only in theory. In practice the normal WHOIS is the only one used and the attributes don't mean anything. Still searching whether this is true for all the domains in CA registry.
