CARS max airspeed 200kts 3000agl 10nm

The CARs say: " If the minimum safe airspeed for the flight configuration of an aircraft is greater than the airspeed referred to in subsection (1), the aircraft shall be operated at the minimum safe airspeed. "
When you are approaching the airport, if your clean speed is greater than 200 kts, can you maintain that higher airspeed? I need clarification on what "flight configuration of an aircraft" means. My understanding is that if you are in the clean flight configuration, than you can maintain your minimum clean speed at that configuration.
Thanks for any help you have on this.
