Yes, of course.
In fact, in 2013, at the start of the thought process surrounding the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights, I tabled a brief in which I proposed to give victims a participatory role. This is done in the United States. This is often done at the International Criminal Court. However, the victim is not a civil party, as you mentioned before. They are not one of the stakeholders; they are a participant with certain rights, such as the right to information, to legal representation, and even to redress, if their rights are denied. This exists in many American states.
We could use existing rules in our Criminal Code to do this. It is possible to seek mandamus—that’s a legal term. I could send you the brief I tabled to fully illustrate what was considered at the time.
