Thank you for the question.
In essence, you explained the Crown prosecutor's role. There are a number of ways to inform victims about the criminal justice system. I think the government recognized that it's important to strike a balance between adequately informing the victim and respecting the Crown prosecutor's role.
When Bill S‑12 was in the Senate, there was debate about the connection between disclosure of information and the Crown prosecutor's role.
I think the issue has more to do with a phrase that appears in three different places in the bill.
The text reads, “in which they may disclose information that is subject to the order without failing to comply with the order”.
I think the issue is whether, for the Crown prosecutor, this phrase is compatible with the kind of information that can be disclosed to the victim.
