548 Protections
(1) If an individual makes a disclosure that qualifies for protection under section 547:
(a) the individual is not subject to any civil, criminal or administrative liability (including disciplinary action) for making the disclosure; and
(b) no contractual or other remedy may be enforced, and no contractual or other right may be exercised, against the individual on the basis of the disclosure.
Note: The individual is still subject to any civil or criminal liability for conduct of the individual that may be revealed by the disclosure.
(2) Without limiting subsection (1), a contract to which the individual is a party may not be terminated on the basis that the disclosure constitutes a breach of the contract.
