National Post et al. v. Her Majesty the Queen

This case concerns the Charter right to freedom of the press, especially the ability of the media to protect the confidentiality of sources. The National Post received a document from a confidential source, but there were allegations that the document was a forgery. The RCMP obtained a search warrant and an assistance order requiring the Post to produce the document for forensic analysis. The BCCLA appeared as an intervener before the Supreme Court of Canada, which has reserved judgment in the case.
