Thank you, Madam Chair.
In my earlier questions, Minister, I requested an explanation of the conflict of interest which you felt would prevent a Crown attorney from clearly explaining the ins and outs of a publication ban to a victim. I also asked you a subsidiary question, which was to suggest some alternatives. I would now like to hear what you have to say on this.
You no doubt recall that back in the day, when you were a member of this committee, we heard victims complain that they didn't know what was going on, that they were not aware of the existence of publication bans, and that they didn't quite understand how it all worked, or how to lift such a ban if they wanted to. If the Crown attorney is not the person who explains all this to victims involved in a trial, who is, and how would it work?
