The CBC is trying to block the release of warrants that allowed the Quebec provincial police to peer into the phone records of a number of journalists in 2014, marking a rare occasion in which a media organization is opposing transparency in judicial proceedings.
In a motion filed in the Quebec Court last month, the federal Crown corporation argued that unsealing the warrants could expose the confidential sources of three CBC journalists, who were targeted by the Sûreté du Québec’s (SQ) investigation into alleged leaks to the media.
