Right now, the Criminal Code says:
the presiding judge or justice shall...at the first reasonable opportunity, inform any...victim of the right to make an application for the order
In practice, this doesn't happen. A victim doesn't see a judge until way down the line, and publication bans are normally put in place at the first appearance of the accused in court, so it needs to be either the Crown attorneys or the victim services workers who are doing it.
I am not a member of the system or a legal practitioner, so I don't know the intricacies, but someone has to take responsibility because right now nobody is. We are harming people and putting people at risk. A victim in Kitchener-Waterloo was prosecuted last year for breaching her own publication ban. Someone has to tell us. I don't know exactly who, but somebody needs to.
