““Common sense” would dictate that if the Government did support “society’s interest in encouraging the reporting of sexual offences” and “society’s interest in encouraging the obtaining of treatment by complainants of sexual offences” they would eliminate the provision that allows the defence to subpoena victims’ private sensitive information; notably counselling and therapy records and personal journals [CCC s 278.5(2) Factors to be considered (f)(g)].”

“Victims are informing the Government that the Criminal Justice System is not working, and the public has lost faith in it.”

“A reasonable person would question how sex offenders were able to achieve the “fundamental human right” to access their victims’ private, sensitive records - using the legal system in the manner that section 278.1 was designed to mitigate.”
