I might just say that in contrast to the current law, where the issue of journalistic privilege can be raised in any context, it wouldn't necessarily be...I won't say honoured, but agreed to in any context. It would be my understanding that the effect of this would be--in contrast to the current law--that this would be a starting point. This regime would be where you would start in terms of assessing whether or not the journalist could be compelled to provide information. To the extent that it could be in conflict with other provisions in the Canada Evidence Act or other federal statutes, it may raise some difficulties in terms of deciding how the courts would deal with the issue.
But this section would be the starting point.
