Yes, I agree that it would conflict with subsection 486.6 (1.1), which was enacted, as the member said, through former Bill S-12. That provision basically says that a victim can't be held liable for breaching a publication ban unless they “knowingly failed to comply with the order” or they compromised the “privacy interests of another person” who is also protected by a publication ban and a warning to the individual was not an “appropriate” response. Those are the safeguards that are already built into the Criminal Code to ensure broad leeway for victims to speak about what they have endured.
Thank you.
