Recommendation 2 of the PJCIS report was that item 86 of schedule 1 of this bill be amended to align the provisions relating to abrogation of legal professional privilege with equivalent provisions in legislation governing other integrity agencies, which would provide for fuller protection to be given to legal professional privilege than is currently available. Why is that not incorporated in this bill?
