Grenzen des parlamentarischen Privilegs | Thecourt.ca

Parliament passed a law saying that parliamentarians can’t use parliamentary immunity as a defence against disclosing confidential information from the national security committee. This has been challenged, and the Ontario Superior Court ruled the law unconstitutional. The Ontario Court of Appeal then sided with the government, and now it’s up to the SCC.

I’ve always been of the opinion that this is an unconstitutional restriction on the rights of MPs, so I’m happy to see the SCC will get a chance to rule on its constitutionality.
