Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses.
I'm going to direct my first question to Ms. Savard or Mr. Moustacalis. I agree with Mr. Spratt when he stated that the reverse disclosure requirements for defence could potentially tip their hand to a liar who would then be given an opportunity, as a result of sitting in and getting access to those records and having an understanding of the defence's litigation strategy, to explain away inconsistencies and contradictions.
There is another component to this, which is that of course for these section 276 applications, the complainant would be entitled to counsel. It raises the question therefore that not only would these reverse disclosure requirements potentially tip the defence's hand to someone who is not being truthful, but they might also make it much more difficult for a defendant to cross-examine the complainant on the basis of how that complainant prepared in light of the fact that part of that would be subject to solicitor-client privilege.
