What I must tell you is that this exception is not absolute. It is limited by the public interest. This exception may be invoked, but in deciding whether or not to lay charges, the Attorney General must also take the public interest into consideration. He must weigh the rights, and the tools to do so exist.
Obviously, at the Barreau du Québec, we are concerned about such statements, but we are also concerned about respect for rights and freedoms. This provision of the Criminal Code currently provides for such an exception, but it must also be weighed against the public interest. So the tools for balancing rights are in place.
Obviously, we will not comment further on specific situations.
