Subsection (2) applies in relation to an answer given by an individual in response to a requirement under section 754 (2) (g) or 761 (1) .

If a document, produced in response to a requirement under section 754 (2) (f) , is the personal property of an individual of whom the requirement is made and the document might incriminate the individual or make the individual liable to a penalty—
the document is admissible in a proceeding against the individual for an offence under this Act; but
neither the document nor anything obtained as a direct or indirect result of the individual producing the document is admissible in any other proceeding against the individual for an offence.
