140XG Self-incrimination
          (1) A person is not excused from producing a record or document
              under paragraph 140XC(1)(d), or subsection 140XF(1), on the
              ground that the production of the record or document might tend to
              incriminate the person or expose the person to a penalty.
          (2) However, in the case of an individual, none of the following are
              admissible in evidence against the individual in criminal
              proceedings:
                (a) the record or document produced;
               (b) producing the record or document;
                (c) any information, document or thing obtained as a direct or
                    indirect consequence of producing the record or document;
              except in proceedings for an offence against section 137.1 or 137.2
              of the Criminal Code (false or misleading information or
              documents) in relation to the information or document.
