Same goes for special interest and lobby groups like the CFIB and CTF. Of course they're free to comment, and they can do that when all of the information is public.

How do you define a journalist though? Pretty sure you don't need a journalism degree to work for a radio station, TV station or newspaper.
You might not like him, but Ezra has been a journalist for probably about 20 years, for several publications. The press gallery president also acknowledges that they were allowed to be there, so it makes it seem that they were removed due to thier previously unflattering coverage of the governemnt and reporting things that they would have liked to stay quiet.
