And now, the end is near,And so I face the final curtain.My friends, I'll say it clear;I'll state my case of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full -I've travelled each and every highway.And more, much more than this,I did it my way.
Regrets? I've had a few,But then again, too few to mention.I did what I had to doAnd saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course -Each careful step along the byway,And more, much more than this,I did it my way.

I can understand a strong privilege to protect from being forced to incriminate oneself but it seems that Parliament's prerogative would trump a corporation's legal interests, esp if the indivds wish to do so. Isn't that precisely what parliaments are for?
