Would you be happy to learn that that's not my idea, it is the law clerk's? Personally, I'm satisfied with the general rules of thumb for interpreting legislation, where a specific act takes precedence over broader legislation. If the legislator decides to enact a specific act, he or she does so first being familiar with the broader legislation. As far as I'm concerned, that paragraph could be taken out; it wasn't my idea.
Does anyone else have a definition of the word “journalist” he or she would like to propose?
