Compellability of witness respecting disclosure of criminal act
7In any civil proceeding, as well as upon the trial of a person in any court for a violation of a statute of this Province, or upon a prosecution in any court for any penalty imposed by a law of this Province, no person shall be excused from answering any question upon the ground that the answer to such question may tend to render him liable to a prosecution, penalty or forfeiture under the laws of this Province, or under any statute of Canada, whereby it is made an offence to violate any provincial statute; but no evidence so given shall be used or receivable in evidence against such person in any proceeding instituted against him other than a prosecution for perjury in giving such evidence.
