Protection against self-incrimination

48. Protection against self-incrimination



(1) It is a reasonable excuse for a natural person to refuse or fail to give
information, produce a document or do any other thing that the person is
required to do by or under this Act, if the giving of the information,
production of the document or doing of the thing would tend to incriminate the
person.

(2) Despite subsection (1), it is not a reasonable excuse for a natural person
to refuse or fail to produce a record or other document that the person is
required to keep by this Act or the regulations, if the production of the
record or other document would tend to incriminate the person.
