The government has already been using this exact tactic to prevent any organization they don't like from being able to cover press events. Keean Bexte has been prevented from entering multiple press events, been assaulted and removed by police at other events (he wasn't being violent). He's also been body checked by the head of the Canadian Press Gallery, who determines who is allowed to ask the Prime Minister questions.
Rebel News and True North won a lawsuit they needed to file to be able to attend the one 2019 election debate that Trudeau would allow. Rebel had to sue again to get access to a later event.
If this passed, without doubt, Rebel and True North and any other press that don't receive government bribes to push the official narrative would be purged.
