I've read that what is said in the legislature is protected by parliamentary privilege, but does that same privilege extend to a party's website? I get the sense that this is why the lawsuit is being raised - for what was published there.

I think this will go in one of two directions... either the Liberals have to withdraw and apologize for what was on their website, or we'll see a whole bunch of new shots directed at them by the Conservatives on their website (which will only degrade things further).
