(1)
It is a reasonable excuse for a natural person to refuse or fail to give information or do any other thing that the person is required to do by or under section 32, 33, 34 or 42, if the giving of the information or the doing of that other thing would tend to incriminate the person.

Despite subsection (1), it is not a reasonable excuse for a natural person to refuse or fail to produce a document that the person is required to produce by or under section 32, 33, 34 or 42, if the production of the document would tend to incriminate the person.
