Mr. Mark Harty:

No, and in relation to the affidavits which are required, they do not necessarily require that one proves that it is untrue. That simpler environment in an affidavit might perhaps meet Senator McDowell's suggestion because at least then the person is somewhere on oath saying that it is in fact untrue when the affidavit which would ordinarily be required is simply that it is defamatory and not necessarily that it is untrue.
