Thank you, Madam Chair.
I wholeheartedly endorse my colleague's comments. I wish to put on the record as well that the only way I see this actually having any impact—and this is currently what happens routinely before the court—is that the privacy interests of the accused generally will occur in terms of publication bans when identifying the accused might compromise the integrity and privacy interests of the victim.
In other words, if a victim has been sexually abused by the accused in a familial relationship, it's automatic that in those situations the privacy interests of the accused have application and, in those situations, their name plus the name of the victim would be subject to a publication ban. This particular amendment does not speak to that, and I think for broader reasons it should be defeated.
