Mr. Speaker, this morning we learned that, once again, a La Presse reporter is under police surveillance.
This dredges up memories of a similar incident involving the federal government: a Vice reporter may go to jail for refusing to disclose his sources to the RCMP. With Bill C-51 measures still in effect, journalists and civil liberties groups are worried things could get worse.
Does the government see that there is an urgent need to order the RCMP to honour freedom of the press?
