Mr. Simon McGarr:

The Murray report takes the view that there are particular protections that should be given to certain people, including journalists. I think those protections are valuable and should be provided for here. I would also say that one way of dealing with this, which would address the Department officials' concern, would be to have those same protections apply to all other citizens. Then we will have met the requirements under the Murray report and addressed the questions of creating a single easy-to-define system of protection.
