I think it's really important that the victim be informed. As you suggest, in this age of technology it does not take much to type up a little email and send that out.
I talked about the web portal. That's something where all that information can be put in and the victim can access that. The minute a plea bargain process is under way, that information can be put into that. By way of email, the victim can go in there and actually see what's going on. It saves time for the crown's office, and it doesn't impede the process.
