I have significant concerns about the changes to the Criminal Code with respect to the application process for defendants who have records related to the complainant. I think there are real distinctions between that scenario and records that are in the hands of third parties, which is why I voted against the previous clause, but at the very least, I believe there is absolutely no reason why one would have to go through the application process in the case of a witness, so it would simply remove “witness” and relate specifically to the complainant.
