(1) A person who is required to answer a question or to provide information or a document under this Act must do so even if the answer, information or document would tend to incriminate the person or make the person liable to a penalty.
(2) However, an answer, information or document provided by an individual is not admissible in evidence against the person in proceedings for an offence, other than proceedings in respect of the making of a false or misleading statement, if—
(a) the person objected at the time to providing the answer, information or document on the ground that it might incriminate the person, or
(b) the person was not warned on that occasion that the person may object to providing the answer, information or document on the ground that it might incriminate the person.
